Like other nano robots, does this use outside source to control it ? like magnetic signals when they pass the tumor.

Not sure which other nano robots you're referring to, but this is more like a custom-built protein that falls apart when it's near specific types of molecules.

No, there is no way to control it externally, nor does it have a mechanism for active movement. The DNA nanorobots move passively along with the blood flow and latches onto the tumors through their apatmer binding sites.
