Researchers develop world’s first biomimetic ciliary-motion microrobots.

Biomimicry is an engineering technique that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products with processes which mirror the efficacy and slimline efficiency of life on earth.  Now, researchers at DGIST develop ciliary microrobots, possessing high-propulsion efficiency in highly-viscous fluid environments in the human body by mimicking the movement of paramecia’s cilia. The team … Continue reading Researchers develop world’s first biomimetic ciliary-motion microrobots.
