Scientists are using DNA's programmable nature to create autonomous molecular systems with robotic abilities. Autonomous assembly and disassembly of gliding molecular robots regulated by a DNA-based molecular controller” demonstrated how DNA can control molecular-level robots. This is paving the way for bio-inspired robotics in medicine and nanotechnology. It also brings us closer to the reality of tiny robots carrying out complex tasks without human intervention.
