Creating micromotors (MMs) that will have the highest possible velocities has become one of main focuses in field autonomous microdevices research. The importance velocity stems from various applications, ranging faster drug delivery to eradication bacterial biofilms using only mechanical movement. To investigate how different shapes affect Zn/SU-8 acid solution, we fabricated with geometries (Zn/SU-8/Cylindrical, Zn/SU-8/Rectangular cuboid, Zn/SU-8/Triangular prism, Zn/SU-8/Pentagonal prism and Zn/SU-8/Pentagrammic MMs). This is first comparative study where shape been isolated as critical factor influencing micromotor under same catalytic surface conditions. Our results demonstrate cuboid MMs exhibit significantly higher average compared other studied MMs. shape-optimized micromotors, characterized by their simple synthesis process low cost, offer significant potential enhance efficiency navigation both environmental medical applications through precise movement control.

Abstract Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) capable of performing tasks at the micro- and nanoscale hold great promise for applications in cutting-edge fields such as biomedical engineering, environmental microfabrication. To cope with intricate dynamic environments encountered practical applications, development high performance MNRs is crucial. They have evolved from single-material, single-function, simple structure to multi-material, multi-function, complex structure. However, design manufacturing multi-material three-dimensional structures pose significant challenges that cannot be addressed by conventional serial strategies single-process methods. The material-interface-structure-function/ coupled methods additive/formative/subtractive composite offer opportunity manufacture multi-materials under multi-factor coupling, thus paving way MNRs. In this paper, we take three core capabilities MNRs—mobility, controllability, load capability—as focal point, emphasizing oriented towards their function/performance functional structures. limitations current investigation are also discussed, our envisioned future directions shared. We hope review will provide a framework template MNRs, serving roadmap researchers interested area.
