Researchers have developed a hybrid micro-robot, the size of a single biological cell (about 10 microns across), that can be controlled and navigated using two different mechanisms -- electric and ...

SRI International is developing micro-robots, each with its own tool that can work together as a swarm to construct macro-scale products. These micro-robots are basically magnets that are controlled ...

Cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs) represent an innovative class of robotic systems that utilise flexible cables to actuate a moving platform. This design offers significant advantages over ...

There is a long held belief among engineers and biologists that micro flying robots that fly like airplanes and helicopters consume much more energy than micro robots that fly like flies. A new study ...

Korean scientists have developed magnetically controlled micro-robots as a platform for the culture and delivery of targeted stem cell therapy, which were shown to function successfully in a ...

Robots can be as big as tanks, as cute as kids-- or as small as microparticles, as just demonstrated by physicists at Argonne National Laboratories. The researchers remotely controlled swimming ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists at Cornell University have created cell-size robots that can be powered and steered by ultrasound waves. Despite their tiny size, these micro-robotic swimmers – whose ...

The tiny robot, only 10 microns across, is able to navigate within a biological sample, identify different types of cells, capture them selectively, and transport them for further analysis.
