katch wreck`In this study, Thalassiosira weissflogii was transformed into biohybrid microrobots (Mag-Diatoms) while retaining its natural chlorophyll, thereby enabling Mag-Diatom-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) without additional drug modification.`

The #components needed to give a device the properties of a #computer have become increasingly smaller. M. M. Lassiter et al. (2025) designed the #smallest #microrobot to date, measuring just 200 by 300 μm wide and 50 μm thick. It can #aggregate, #communicate, #sense, and #move via #electricalfields inside #fluids. There are interesting applied options for using such a robot in e.g. medical contexts.

Futuro Prossimo 
Micro robot grandi come granelli catturano CO2 negli spazi sigillati e la rilasciano a 60°C invece di 150. Nei test in ambienti chiusi hanno esteso la sopravvivenza del 54%. Le applicazioni sono tante e importanti: sottomarini, stazioni spaziali, rifugi antiatomici, laboratori. Questi dispositivi faranno la differenza tra morire asfissiati e restare vivi abbastanza da essere salvati.
ETH ZurichResearchers at ETH Zurich have developed a #Microrobot capable of transporting drugs to specific locations within the body, with the potential for use in #Hospitals in the near future.

* early days I'm sure
* interesting videos
* no ML but reminds me of early days of RL-assisted tasks, so ...

Microrobot capable of forming neural networks and sectioning hippocampal tissues in vitro
The research team led by Professor Hongsoo Choi from DGIST in the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering has developed a microrobot capable of forming neural networks and sectioning hippocampal tissues in an in vitro environment in an ex vivo state.
