Description
Na Liu and co-authors review, in a 2026 article, next-generation biomedical nanorobots, tiny active machines meant to move, sense, and act inside the body. Older nano carriers drift passively, which limits aim and timing. New designs use chemical, magnetic, or sound power to swim and steer, built from hard, soft, mixed, or living materials.
The review covers sensing of the surroundings, group behavior modeled on swarms, and AI-guided control. Promising uses span targeted drug delivery, tissue repair, and combined diagnosis with treatment in hard-to-reach spots. The road to clinic stays steep: body reactions, long-term safety, mass production, and unclear rules all block the way. The authors set priorities such as bodies that dissolve after use, shared test standards, and links with imaging and digital medicine, so the field can move from lab promise toward safe care.
