Robots that can think and move are no longer confined to factory floors or humanoid prototypes. Researchers have now shrunk ...

Despite their size, the robots can navigate liquids, respond to their environment and operate without external control.

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

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

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 ...

Tiny robots smaller than cells can swim, sense surroundings, and decode temperature through miniature dance-like movements ...

The microscopic bot is smaller than a grain of salt and costs just one penny to produce. The team that developed it, who hail ...

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

Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...
