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

A team from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has built the tiniest programmable, self-driving ...

Researchers have succeeded in developing the smallest fully autonomous robot in history. It measures less than 1 millimeter and can swim underwater for months powered only by light.

Apera AI empowers robots with human-caliber vision and advanced artificial intelligence. Powered by award-winning 4D Vision, robots achieve up to 10X faster vision and greater than 99.9% reliability ...

New cell-scale robots can sense their environment, compute decisions, and move independently without magnetic or ultrasonic control systems.

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 ...

A Pittsburgh-based company has unveiled a palm-sized robot dog that obeys voice commands and even does backflips. The Bittle X, developed by Petoi, is an open-source programmable robot dog. Designed ...

A dynamic silicone-based material enables pressure sensors that reshape, heal damage, and disassemble, offering new capabilities for soft robotics and wearables. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Machines that ...

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 ...
