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 ...

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

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet, and its tiny size is only a side-effect. Controlled by magnets and small enough to diffract visible light, ...

Northwestern University engineers have developed the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot — and it comes in the form of a tiny, adorable peekytoe crab. Just a half-millimeter wide, the tiny ...

A team of researchers at Cornell University has developed the world’s smallest walking robot. Designed to interact with visible light, the robot moves independently despite its tiny size. The team ...

In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

A team at UC Berkeley has developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, inspired by bumblebees. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring under a centimeter in diameter, the miniature drone ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Researchers have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that it can maneuver to specific ...
