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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

These are the smallest programmable autonomous robots that I have seen,” said Kevin Chen, an MIT roboticist who wasn’t ...

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.

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

In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...
