Each robot costs only a single penny to manufacture. The robots could help advance everything from nanotechnology ...

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 salt that can not only move through its environment but also sense what is ...

Tiny robots smaller than a grain of rice can sense, think, and move on their own. They could one day fix tissue inside the human body.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan have created the world’s smallest fully programmable ...

The robots are both powered and programmed by light pulses, and each has their own unique identifier for individualized ...

Inside a UNC-Chapel Hill Science lab sits an autonomous robot. Imagine a machine like a Roomba, but with an arm, so it can pick up things like a dirty sock off the floor. A group of researchers from ...

Microscale swimming bots take in sensory information, process it and carry out tasks, opening new possibilities in ...

There is also a dance studio, complete with a wood floor and large mirrors. Here scientists record the movements of human ...

A microrobot can operate independently in liquids for months. The development effort was high, but the costs for the robot ...

Scientists unveil penny-sized microrobots that swim, sense temperature, and run for months using light-powered brains.

The price tag is orders of magnitude cheaper than most robots in its class, which can run into tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now China’s Unitree Robotics, best known for its nimble ...
