Tiny robots made from biomolecules

Can we scale down robots to small scales and realize them with self-organizing molecules? As biological cells already act a little like robots – they sense, compute, move, and respond to their environment – the answer is probably “yes”. But a wide range of interesting physical challenges have to be...
