3D‐Printed Microrobots with Integrated Structural Color for Identification and Tracking

Abstract

Mobile Microrobots This image shows 3D printed mobile micro-scale robots with structural color. Structural color occurs when visible light interacts with tiny patterned features that absorb and reflect light in different ways. This is the same way that butterflies, beetles, peacocks and other animals found in nature express vivid colors. In article number 1900147, Maria Guix, David J. Cappelleri, and co-workers demonstrate the construction of 3D-printed microrobots with integrated structural color for real-time tracking and identification purposes.
