Measuring just 200 by 300 by 50 micrometers — smaller than a grain of salt and roughly the size of a single-celled paramecium ...

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

Scientists have created robots smaller than a grain of salt that can sense their surroundings, make decisions, and move ...

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

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 ...

Professor Boyuan Chen poses with some of his 3D printed robots that were designed and built through his new platform called Text2Robot that allows people to simply tell a computer what kind of robot ...

Robots the size of a single-celled organism can now sense their environment, make decisions, and act on them without any outside help. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of ...

In context: Teaching robots new skills has traditionally been slow and painstaking, requiring hours of step-by-step demonstrations for even the simplest tasks. If a robot encountered something ...
