Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

Scientists have created robots smaller than a grain of salt that can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and move ...

Tiny robots smaller than cells can swim, sense surroundings, and decode temperature through miniature dance-like movements ...

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have built the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in liquid for months. Inside this speck is a functioning computer, a sensor, and ...

A Pittsburgh-based company has unveiled a palm-sized robot dog that obeys voice commands and even does backflips. The Bittle X, developed by Petoi, is an open-source programmable robot dog. Designed ...

If you are in the market for a programmable robotic arm to help your business production line needs you may be interested in the affordable UFACTORY Lite 6 robot arm now available on Kickstarter. The ...

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan have created the world's smallest programmable robots. These tiny machines are so small that they are nearly invisible to ...
