Bubble-Inspired Multifunctional Magnetic Microrobots for Integrated Multidimensional Targeted Biosensing.

ABSTRACT: Microrobots possessing multifunctional integration are desired for therapeutics and biomedicine applications. However, existing microrobots with desired functionalities need to be fabricated through complex procedures due to their constrained volume, limited manufacturing processes, and lack of effective in vivo observation methods. Inspired by bubbles exhibiting various abilities, we report magnetic air bubble microrobots with simpler structures to simultaneously integrate multiple functions, including microcargo delivery, multimode locomotion, imaging, and biosensing. Contributed by buoyancy and magnetic actuation to overcome obstacles, flexible three-dimensional locomotion is implemented, guaranteeing the integrity of micro-objects adsorbed on the surface of the air bubble micror
