Los microrobots del tamaño de un grano de arroz (de 1.5 a 4 mm) representan una innovación crucial en la medicina. Son desarrollados por diversas instituciones y empresas (como Robeauté en Europa) para realizar cirugías poco invasivas y terapias dirigidas

Surgery’s next robot may be invisible.
In 2025, Science reported magnetic microrobots that navigate, appear on imaging and release drugs in physiological conditions, with tests in vessel models and large animals [1]. That shifts surgery from “cut wider” to “target tighter.” 🧬
Surgical robots were valued at $6.6B in 2025 and forecast to reach $18.5B by 2033 [3]. The edge goes to hospitals that combine imaging, robotics and training. ⚕️
The bottleneck is trust. The FDA frames robotic surgery as trained-operator, OR-based care [2]. Nanorobots raise the bar.
🤔 What would make you trust a robot you cannot see in your body?

ROBEAUTE sounds absolutely insane. Brain-navigating microrobots for neurosurgery? That is straight out of a movie. The whole lineup is great but a robot literally traveling through brain tissue to treat disease is next level.

Living robot swarms built from algae can split, merge, and target wounds with light
┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ 🟢 🔴
Scientists at the University of California San Diego, developed living microrobots made from green algae and nanoparticles that can assemble into precise shapes using blue light and disperse with red light. The swarms can split, merge, and move while maintaining their structure. Researchers demonstrated a “smart bandage” concept where AI identifies infected wound regions, then guides the algae robots to assemble on medical tape matching the wound’s shape. Once applied, red light releases the microrobots into the wound, transferring nearly 90% within two minutes. The technology could enable targeted drug delivery and advanced wound treatment, though deeper tissue applications remain challenging.
