Each robot costs only a single penny to manufacture. The robots could help advance everything from nanotechnology ...
The device advances medicine toward a future that might see tiny robots sent into the body to rewire damaged nerves, deliver ...
A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...
The world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots have debuted at the University of Pennsylvania, sporting a brain ...
Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...
The newest frontier in robotics is almost invisible to the naked eye. Researchers have built a robot smaller than a grain of ...
The tiny, microscopic robot packs an onboard computer, solar cells, and propulsion system, and is capable of sensing its ...
In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...
Smart materials can change their shape or form in response to external stimuli, making them indispensable for many applications, including health equipment and automobiles, among others. Now, a ...
A group of scientists have wired a robot with human stem cells and attached a brain-computer interface, enabling the robot to complete tasks assigned to it. Human brains, much like computers, run on ...
It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...
