Abstract

Abstract : A capsule‐type microrobot exhibits "Pick‐and‐Drop" (P&D) motion for possible drug and cell transport via a corkscrew motion. Drugs or cells can be encapsulated in the microrobot's container by the P&D motion or attached to the surface of the cap, which can be used as a cell supporting structure. This work is discussed in article number1700985 by Hongsoo Choi and co‐workers.
