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

The device advances medicine toward a future that might see tiny robots sent into the body to rewire damaged nerves, deliver ...

Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

Could a robot smaller than a microorganism actually think on its own? Well, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania ...

The robots are powered by tiny microcomputers developed by David Blaauw and Dennis Sylvester, engineers at the University of ...

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

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

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

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...
