Light-Controlled Microbots in Biomedical Application: A Review
2022
Overview
The advancement of micro-robotics in recent years has permitted a vast field of active research and application in the biomedical sector. Latest developments in microrobotics point to some ground-breaking work using light for manufacturing as well as actuation. Optical manipulation in three-dimensional space for living biological cells in a minimally invasive manner is crucial for different biomedical applications. This article attempts to provide an overview of the accomplishments and future possibilities of light-powered microbots. An overview of the feasibility of different fabrication techniques and control modalities is compared, along with prospective applications and design considerations of light-powered microbots. A variety of challenges that still prohibit polymeric light-powered microbots from attaining their full potential are pointed out, and viable ways to overcome such challenges are proposed. This study will help future researchers to study and develop the next generation of light-actuated microbots by overcoming the current limitations and challenges in fabrication, control, and design.
