It is either body or brain first when building autonomous microrobots

Key Points

• Microrobots designed using a brain-first approach showed improved responsiveness and adaptability in dynamic environments.
• Key findings revealed that microrobots using neural networks achieved a mobility score of 85% in obstacle navigation tests.
• Experimentation included a comparative assessment of both body-first and brain-first microrobot designs utilizing motion control mechanisms.
• The study emphasizes the potential for advancing microrobotic technologies, though further testing in real-world scenarios is necessary.
