Microbots created by Micromuscle are small enough to live inside a human body. Under the effect of a small voltage, they can morph into complex structures, change shape and volume. All this holds great potential application for medical science, but they are currently concentrating on “catheters that can steer themselves through the bloodstream, drug delivery …
