The tiny, microscopic robot packs an onboard computer, solar cells, and propulsion system, and is capable of sensing its ...

Together, the machines represent a long-awaited breakthrough in microscale robotics, a field that has struggled for decades to combine independent motion, sensing, and computing at extremely small ...

The device advances medicine toward a future that might see tiny robots sent into the body to rewire damaged nerves, deliver medicines and analyze a patient’s cells without surgery.

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have developed a microrobot, smaller than a grain ...

Happy, sad, surprised, angry, neutral: These are the five emotions conveyed by Bartholomew, the tiny robot designed by researchers in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Just taller than a ...

Most robots depend on controlled environments, because the real world is hard to get around in. The smaller the robot, the bigger this problem because little wheels (or legs) can take only little ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

Stanford mechanical engineer Renee Zhao is developing new devices to treat disease – like a tiny robot that can travel through the vascular system to shrink blood clots in the brain. Stanford ...

A tiny, soft, flexible robot that can crawl through earthquake rubble to find trapped victims or travel inside the human body to deliver medicine may seem like science fiction, but an international ...

Happy, sad, surprised, angry and neutral are the five emotions displayed by the tiny robot designed by SEAS researchers. The robot, named Bartholomew, is just taller than a penny, approximately 1 ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...
