Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

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 liquid for months. Inside this speck is a functioning computer, a sensor, and ...

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 ...

Researchers built autonomous robots the size of salt grains—with onboard computers, sensors, and motors that think and swim ...

Bacteria-scale robots that can run for months without human control are no longer a lab fantasy. Researchers have now built ...

Scientists have created robots smaller than a grain of salt that can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and move ...

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 – ...

Learn more about these tiny robots that can alter their surroundings and monitor our health. When you think of a robot, your go-to is probably WALL-E, C-3PO, or R2-D2. These hunks of bolts and metal ...

There's a new STEM option in town. The Robot Inventor kit can be turned into five robots, which can play basketball, walk, and shoot darts at intruders. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

The brain of the robot is a tiny electronic computer that features a processor, memory and sensors, making it the first ...
