For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We ...

Copying human expressions is super-difficult, but scientists used hours of YouTube videos to teach a robot how humans move ...

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

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 ...

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 — ...

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

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...
