Robots are widely used to build cars, paint airplanes and sew clothing in factories. The assembly of microscopic components requires much more intricate automation. Lasers could be the solution. Now, researchers reporting in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces have used lasers to create miniature robots from bubbles that lift, drop and manipulate small pieces into interconnected structures.
