Chinese researchers have developed a new type of microrobot that transforms ordinary immune cells into precision-guided warriors using nothing more than focused light beams. The “phagobots”—macrophage cells that can be awakened and steered with near-infrared laser light—represent a major advance in biomedical robotics by combining the natural power of immune cells with robotic controllability.
