Micro-robots could have many future applications, if a suitable power source can be found. Drawing inspiration from plants, Kim Ho-Young’s lab at Seoul National University is making micro-robots out of fibres thousands of times thinner than human hairs that bend, twist or coil in response to changes in humidity. He explains the potential of the idea and the challenges that remain to be addressed.
