Scientists working with microfluids as part of biotechnology research often rely on large, clunky machines to manage the samples, but this tinkering could one day be handled by tiny robots that make the process far more efficient. Engineers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) are working toward such a future, having developed a fleet of diminutive disc-shaped machines that function like “warehouse robots,” moving and depositing tiny droplets with great precision.
This is a companion discussion for the article “Tiny magnetized robots become "warehouse" workers for biotech research - https://newatlas.com/robotics/tiny-magnetized-robots-warehouse-biotech/” submitted on the community's news feed.
