Most robots use electric actuators, but this little fella packs a lot more punch. Researchers have created a new type of minuscule combustion engine that gives this tiny frog robot explosive leaping ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University, Israel, have created a micro-robot the size of a single biological cell that navigates using both electricity and magnetic fields and can identify and capture a ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Micro-robotic manipulators with the ability to move in increments far smaller than the width of a human hair might be enlisted for a range of applications in research, ...

Engaging students with hands-on robotics in STEM education has often presented challenges, with kits sometimes being limited in scope or requiring significant prior knowledge. However, the landscape ...

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 ...

Micro-robots operate on a scale from a few microns to several millimeters. Untethered micro devices utilize magnetic fields or acoustic waves for precise propulsion. Biodegradable gels and ...
