What is picobots?

Picobots are tiny robots that have a size scale in the order of picometers (10^-12 meters) to micrometers (10^-6 meters). They are typically designed to perform specific tasks such as sensing, measuring, moving, or manipulating small particles or biological cells. Picobots are often made of materials like ceramics, polymers, metals, or nanocomposites and are powered by a variety of sources, including light, magnetic fields, or chemical reactions. They can be controlled through a range of techniques, such as chemical signaling, remote guidance, or magnetic manipulation. Picobots have a wide range of potential applications, including biomedical research, environmental monitoring, and material science. They are also expected to play a significant role in the development of future nanorobots and molecular machines.
