An innovative concept for the fabrication of dual‐action microrobots capable of performing single‐cell microsurgery along with a site‐directed drug‐delivery feature is presented. These multi‐action plant‐derived biocompatible “medibots” can play a pivotal role in understanding micromotor interactions at the cellular level, aiming toward the destruction of harmful cells (like cancer) among others in living systems.
