"Micro-nano robots are small robots designed at the micron and nanometer scale. Unlike the regular macroscopic robots that we are familiar with, these robots are invisible to our naked eye, so they can only be observed through a microscope.
These robots are mainly applied in the biomedical field. Due to their small size, they can be injected into the human body, such as blood vessels or cavities to deliver drugs and perform certain treatment.
The micro-nano robots that we developed are currently controlled primarily through chemical and magnetic fields. Once directed to the tumor site, they can release the drug molecules that they carry in the tumor's acid environment, effectively targeting and killing the tumor cells."
