Coexisting Cooperative Cognitive Micro‐/Nanorobots

Abstract Interaction behaviors are a crucial, distinctive feature of organisms in ecological systems. Inspired by nature, micro‐/nanorobots also show interaction behaviors with a significant number of novel and advanced functionalities. The micro‐/nanoscale size and self‐driven abilities of micro‐/nanorobots have attracted considerable attention for potential applications. The mission of micro‐/nanorobots has evolved from basic mechanical transfer or assistance to a diverse range of complex tasks, such as targeted drug delivery, biosensing, and environmental remediation. Herein, we focus on the interaction behavior of coexisting cooperative cognitive (Tri‐Co) micro‐/nanorobots, summarize recent research, and classify the interactions into three broad types: with the environment, with robot peers, and with human external control.
