Robots don’t have to be large and imposing to be impressive. As this tiny quadruped from [Dorian Todd] demonstrates, some simple electronics and a few servos can create something altogether ...
They run on light and are the world’s smallest, fully programmable, autonomous devices ...
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.
Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...
Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...
Solving a technical challenge that has stymied science for 40 years, researchers have built a robot with an onboard computer, sensors and a motor, the whole assembly less than 1 millimeter in size — ...
The bleeding edge: Nanomachines were once a distant fantasy of science fiction writers and video games like Deus Ex and Metal Gear Solid. However, recent advances in miniaturization have brought those ...
Search and rescues missions often happen in areas that are difficult for humans to navigate due to extreme weather, rough terrain, or dangerous conditions like smoke or dust. A researcher at Worcester ...
With stats like that, one can’t help but suspect that the first country to have a million humanoids will be China.
