For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We ...

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 ...

Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

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 ...

Robots need to move, right? That’s where actuators and motors come in. Think of them as the muscles and joints of a robot.

Advancements Driving Robotic Capabilities Robots used to be pretty much stuck in factories, doing the same thing ...

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 – ...
