Building robots that operate independently at sizes below one millimeter is incredibly difficult,” says roboticist Marc ...

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.

Tiny robots smaller than cells can swim, sense surroundings, and decode temperature through miniature dance-like movements ...

A tiny robot so small it can barely be seen can still "sense, think, and act" autonomously, according to the engineers who ...

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 – ...

With examples such as nanorobots that facilitate the administration of drugs against tumors, help produce sustainable energy or fight against environmental pollution, micro- and nanoscale robotic ...

Printed sensors as small as a micron are moving from lab-scale novelty to real-world deployment, opening new possibilities ...
