Scientists Create Shape-shifting Microbots to Brush Teeth “Hand-Free”: Study
Like many menial tasks, robots may soon take over the job of brushing your teeth. Scientists from University of Pennsylvania have created a swarm of tiny robots (called microbots) that they claim can change shape to form bristles or floss. These robots can not only remove plaque, but also release antimicrobials to kill the bacteria in the mouth.
