Micro-robots can be used to build anything by forming differently-shaped arrays and building micro factories that fabricate tools for other micro-robots.

Think that robots need to be the size of a dog or even a full-grown person to be exciting? Not so, as the fast-developing field of micro-robotics demonstrates. As it turns out, in some cases the ...

A team of researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has come up with tiny micro-robots that can distinguish between healthy and dying cells.

Scientists at Cornell University have created cell-size robots that can be powered and steered by ultrasound waves. Despite their tiny size, these micro-robotic swimmers – whose movements were ...

New cell-sized micro robots might make incredible journeys A million functional microscopic robots produced from a 4-inch silicon wafer in new nanofabrication process Date: March 7, 2019 Source ...

A tiny robot made from strands of DNA could pave the way for mini-machines that can dive into the human body to perform surgeries, among other futuristic applications. While DNA-based robots have ...

U.S. government researchers have created half-millimeter wide robots that assemble themselves from free-floating particles and transport objects four times their size. The technology bridges a gap ...

A group of very small, massively strong robots developed by Stanford University students will utterly transform industry. The miniature robots, known as MicroTugs, can pull up to 2,000 times their ...

It's looking more and more likely that tiny robots could one day be swimming and crawling through your body, delivering drugs or scrubbing out your arteries. But the human body is full of wildly ...

Scientists have created cell-size robots that can be powered and steered by ultrasound waves. Despite their tiny size, these micro-robotic swimmers - whose movements were inspired by bacteria and ...
