They contain onboard silicon-based computers, enabling them to make decisions based on environmental sensors. Movement: They can move in complex, programmed patterns. 3. Key Capabilities
These robots can function without constant external guidance, processing data locally to make decisions.
Transporting medicine directly to diseased cells. Engineers create tiny robot
Monitoring inaccessible environments. 5. Conclusion and Future Directions
Operating within the human body, such as navigating the vascular system to remove blood clots. They contain onboard silicon-based computers
