受生物系统的启发,科学家们研制出利用其周围随意浮动的部件进行自我组装的微型机器人。一旦出现问题,这种机器人就可以感知到,并且能够纠正自己的错误。生物体内细胞利用细胞核内随意浮动的基础材料来复制DNA。这种方式的特点在于这些部件不用像汽车装配线那样照着次序进行。 Inspired by biological systems, scientists have developed miniature robots that self-assemble using components that float around freely. Once something goes wrong, the robot can sense it and correct its own mistakes. Cells in living organisms utilize the free-floating base material in the nucleus to replicate DNA. A feature of this approach is that these components do not need to be placed in the same order as automotive assembly lines.
