Soft Microrobots with Adaptive Geometry — •Mariana Medina Sánchez — Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research , Helmholtzstrasse 20, Dresden, Germany

The creation of soft microrobots able to adapt and move in complex environments has attracted the attention of scientists over the world. These microrobots with adaptive geometry could potentially move in complex environments, through small cavities, and in viscoelastic fluids in a very efficient way as many microorganisms and cells do. Here an overview of the existing materials and technologies that can be used to create such smart microrobots will be given, as well as the strategies to perform novel soft microrobots with dynamic geometry and collective behaviour will be highlighted.
