Algae nanorobots? Maybe they can finally track down that green army man I swallowed in 66’, it’s in me somewhere…

It’s like a thousand kind of slow voices rang out, and said “Thanks for the sunlight hour we can’t directly use here in the lungs, but we said bacterial pneumonia, not a 2nd grade classroom concoction of malaise! Did you lick a playground slide again?!”
I love that they have a (colored) micrograph of an algae that has a few folds and turns to its cell wall, plus one of the micelle-coated one that is wearing what looks like a dozen pocket vests, to hold the pennicillin-streptamycin or whatever. Great success in curing afflicted mice, too! Good stuff for fighting the more mechanical microrobots.

Maybe I’m picky, but bespoke algal cells don’t sound very robotic. I mean, how would they even be used in search and rescue?
Who’s in charge of marketing these things?
Gettin’ reeeeeal tired of every blasted widget being called a “robot” for no good reason.
I cooked eggs this morning on my stove robot using a measuring robot and a spatula robot.
