Abstract

Chemically powered colloidal motors can convert chemical energy into directional mechanical movement, making them promising for applications such as targeted drug delivery, environmental decontamination, and precision disease treatment. However, their self-propulsion is constantly disrupted by random Brownian motion, making precise control under low Reynolds number conditions highly challenging. This review provides a brief overview of the three main propulsion mechanisms of chemically powered colloidal motors. It also summarizes recent advances in motion control, including speed regulation and trajectory navigation. Finally, we discuss future directions for achieving more precise motion control. We hope this review will inspire further research on developing more effective and practical control strategies for colloidal motors.
