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 ...
In "Mini robots to undertake major tasks?," IST Results describes a EU-funded project which allowed to build several kinds of microrobots in the last three years. These robots are very small (about ...
Engineers have designed a tiny, low-weight and cordless robot that can act independently and with ultra-high precision in all ...
In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed the ...
The micro-robots in the Penn team’s study are thin slices of magnet, about a third of a millimeter in diameter. Despite having no moving parts or sensors of their own, the researchers refer to them as ...
The madmen at Harvard have finally done it: they’ve simulated real life swarms with tiny robots, thereby bringing the coming robot apocalypse that much closer. Or maybe they just created some really ...
