Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Small (micro‐ to millimeter) soft polymeric aquabots that perform multifunctional operations in aqueous environments, effectively simulating their natural counterparts (see image)are presented. These aquabots have diverse muscle‐like locomotive mechanisms as well as integrated organs including body structures, sensors, and drug‐releasing systems. The demonstrated functions have potential applications in drug delivery, environmental monitoring, and inspection.
