Light-driven Microrobots

Light-Driven Microrobots is a class of microrobots that utilize light as the primary external energy source to generate controlled motion and perform targeted tasks at the microscale, distinguished by their ability to convert optical energy into mechanical actuation without the need for physical tethers or onboard power sources.
