The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in ...

In a lab experiment that sounds closer to science fiction than engineering, researchers have unveiled what they describe as the world’s smallest fully programmable robot. Measuring just fractions of a ...

Scientists have created the world's smallest programmable robots, each smaller than a grain of salt and costing just one ...

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) and the University of Michigan have created the world's smallest autonomous and programmable robots. Each measuring about 200 micrometers wide – ...

Sunday Robotics dropped a new video of their robot Memo in action performing pick-and-place actions with various objects.

Scientists have unveiled the world’s smallest autonomous robots, marking a groundbreaking leap in microrobotics.

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 – ...

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

Researchers develop salt-sized autonomous robots that can swim, sense temperature, and think independently, opening new ...

The robots are powered by tiny microcomputers developed by David Blaauw and Dennis Sylvester, engineers at the University of Michigan. Their processors run on just 75 nanowatts of power, around one ...

Programmable matter and robotic systems represent a dynamic frontier in materials science and robotics, where discrete, often modular units are designed to change their physical properties and ...
