Paul McEuen and Marc Miskin: Tiny robots with giant potential

The video explores the fascinating world of tiny robots inspired by nature, specifically rotifers. It discusses the existing technology that can be leveraged to build these robots, such as semiconductors and sensors. The video introduces the concept of optically wired integrated circuits (OICs) and their potential applications. It also covers the development of actuators made from platinum for these robots, highlighting their flexibility and innovation. The assembly and deployment process of these tiny robots is explained, along with their potential future applications in various fields, including medicine and agriculture.

How do the tiny robots communicate and what technology do they use?

What is the process of releasing the robots from the substrate?
