The goal of this project is to develop a biohybrid microrobotic system capable of precise, targeted antibiotic delivery to cancer sites through dual-responsive drug release mechanisms. Drug release will be triggered by near-infrared (NIR) stimulation as well as by pH-responsive cues. As a proof of concept, the directional control and functional performance of the microrobots will be demonstrated through in vivo experiments in mouse models.
