Nanorobots

Peer-Reviewed Publication Science China Press image: Inspired by how a car uses an engine and a steering wheel to reach its destination, the nanorobot integrates two enzymatic functions. Urease works for propulsion by harnessing endogenous urea in bloodstream and tumor microenvironments, while catalase controls orientation by sensing the H2O2 concentration gradient typically existing in tumor microenvironments.

Over the past decades, a growing number of robotics teams have started developing modular robots inspired by the ancient paper-folding art of origami. More recently, some of these teams started experimenting with origami structures
