Abstract

Biomolecular motor-based micro-sized robots have recently created an innovation in the field of science and technology as molecular transporters. Groups of these tiny robots can work substantially better than individual ones in terms of the transported distance and number or size of cargo. Site-specific molecular delivery, the main feature of these robots, has helped to improve the workability of robots in a more controllable manner.
