Sažetak
Chemical robots are a subset of soft robotics which, compared to classic mechanical robots, are made of softer materials, such as polymer gel, semi-permeable shell with a storage compartment, etc. Therefore, chemical robots can “mimic” the movements of a living organism. In today`s world, chemical robots could have many different applications. Some of those could be the delivery of medicine within the organism itself, the recovery of valuable chemicals from diluted resources, or as an aid in the recovery of environmental disasters (eg, oil spill in the ocean). An example of chemical robots with such applications are chobots (chemical swarm robots), whose structure and size resemble a single-celled organism [1]. Chemical robots can also be applied in the chemistry laboratory, where they can perform some basic chemical processes such as distillation, mixing, titration, etc. Allowing faster and more efficient production of target molecules [2]. In addition to chemical robots, it is important to mention the biological robots, so- called bio-bots, which are made of hydrogels that form the skeleton, in which we see two stands that strengthen the muscle strips as tendons and also form the feet of the robots. Bio-bots are moved by muscle strips, the contraction and relaxation of which are controlled via electrical impulses, whereby as the pulse frequency increases so do the contractions, resulting in faster movement of bio- bots [3].
