But Purism’s approach is interesting: the idea isn’t to build a fully autonomous robot, but rather one that can be remote controlled by a user using a “gaming-like application,” while ...

Now, miniature biological robots have gained a new trick: remote control. The hybrid 'eBiobots' are the first to combine soft materials, living muscle and microelectronics, said researchers.

Tiny remote-controlled blob robots may revolutionize infection treatment by eradicating stubborn bacterial biofilms on medical implants with precision and ease.
