Microrobots are of significant interest due to their smart transport capabilities, especially for precisely targeted delivery in dynamic environments (blood, cell membranes, tumor interstitial matrixes, blood-brain barrier, mucosa, and other body fluids). To perform a more complex micromanipulation in biological applications, it is highly desirable for microrobots to be stimulated with multiple stimuli rather than a single stimulus. Herein, the biodegradable and biocompatible smart micromotors with a Janus architecture consisting of PrecirolATO 5 and polycaprolactone compartments inspired by the anisotropic geometry of tadpoles and sperms are newly designed. These bioinspired micromotors combine the advantageous properties of polypyrrole nanoparticles (NPs), a high near-infrared light-absorbing agent with high photothermal conversion efficiency, and magnetic NPs, which respond to the magnetic field and exhibit multistimulus-responsive behavior. By combining both fields, we achieved an "on/off" propulsion mechanism that can enable us to overcome complex tasks and limitations in liquid environments and overcome the limitations encountered by single actuation applications. Moreover, the magnetic particles offer other functions such as removing organic pollutants via the Fenton reaction. Janus-structured motors provide a broad perspective not only for biosensing, optical detection, and on-chip separation applications but also for environmental water treatment due to the catalytic activities of multistimulus-responsive micromotors.
