Robotics has long been an area of intense research, but recent years have focused on the development of micro-/nano-sized robots (MNRs) that can be manipulated using magnetic fields. This tutorial will explain the fundamentals of MNRs: how they work, how they are fabricated and how they navigate, followed by their game-changing role in biomedicine, environmental remediation, and food quality.
