机器人具有协同工作以完成任务的组件。胶体是颗粒，通常小于100 µm，足够小，不会从溶液中沉淀出来。胶体机器人是一种粒子，能够实现传感、计算、通信、运动和能量管理等功能，这些功能都由粒子本身控制。它们的设计和合成是一个新兴的跨学科研究领域，涉及材料科学、胶体科学、自组装、机器人物理学和控制理论。许多胶体机器人系统自主接近合成版本的生物细胞，并可能最终将这些专门功能带到以前无法到达的位置。这一观点审查了新兴的文献，并强调了实现胶体机器人的某些设计原则和策略。
Robots have components that work together to accomplish a task. Colloids are particles, usually less than 100 µm, that are small enough that they do not settle out of solution. Colloidal robots are particles capable of functions such as sensing, computation, communication, locomotion and energy management that are all controlled by the particle itself. Their design and synthesis is an emerging area of interdisciplinary research drawing from materials science, colloid science, self-assembly, robophysics and control theory. Many colloidal robot systems approach synthetic versions of biological cells in autonomy and may find ultimate utility in bringing these specialized functions to previously inaccessible locations. This Perspective examines the emerging literature and highlights certain design principles and strategies towards the realization of colloidal robots.
