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 ...

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 ...

They run on light and are the world’s smallest, fully programmable, autonomous devices ...

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

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

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 ...

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 team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has reportedly developed what they suggest is the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots.

Sirius is a robotic dog for consumers that made waves at CES 2025 for its powerful AI multimodal interaction capabilities and high dynamic motion performance. Based on AI models, Sirius is the first ...
