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

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 ...

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

A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has reportedly developed what they suggest is the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots.

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 – ...

Scientists create robot the size of a grain of salt that can dance and think - Researchers say the record-breaking robot ...

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

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

Shape shifts happen all around you. Cells stretch, tissues curl, and living structures shift their form as naturally as breathing. Scientists have tried to copy those abilities for years, hoping to ...

Dynamic microscopic robots have been developed to respond to their surroundings, potentially offering a vessel for delivering medicine or cleaning up pollution. Researchers at the University of North ...

One day electrically activated “muscles” can give rise to microscopic robots that are smaller than a grain of sand. The chain of particles that make up these muscles could also lead to electronics ...

Underwater robots face many challenges before they can truly master the deep, such as stability in choppy currents. A new ...
