Microrobots are miniature devices capable of performing complex tasks such as drug delivery, medical diagnostics, or environmental protection. They can have various mechanisms of motion induction based on the use of energy of external fields. The ability to control motion can be used in combination with another properties, ensuring specific functionalities. In this work, we developed a concept for microrobots designed to ensure environmental protection. The proposed robots are hybrid structures composed of functional shell and magneto-responsive core. The microrobots were characterized at each stage of their preparation using a number of analytical methods. The results showed that the environmental protection can be ensured by a specific shell design. In particular, the functionality of microrobots was determined by their ability to motion (externally triggered) and related enhanced interaction with surrounding medium.
