Micro-robots successfully cleared infections in pig sinuses and live rabbits, without causing tissue damage. However, scientists still need to ensure that every robot exits the body after treatment.

Controlling microrobots with extreme precision is vital in delicate surgical procedures, but traditional feedback systems are bulky and externally dependent.

A team of researchers from the Chinese University in Hong Kong, and universities in Guangxi, Shenzhen, Jiangsu, Yangzhou and ...

Because of this, the two micro-bots do not require standard motors, and therefore have no need for bulky moving parts. [Related: Bat-like echolocation could help these robots find lost people.] Both ...

Micro-robots may not seem so capable by themselves, but think of how powerful a swarm of bees or locusts can be. In nature, this often leads to devastation, but the power of a swarm can be turned ...

Designed from the same material as pearls are made of, this fish is much more flexible and stronger than other soft robots.

Most previous micro-robot studies have been tested in 2D cell cultures and have had too few cells loaded onto the device. Those issues can be overcome by using 3D cell cultures, while a rotating ...

The micro-robot crab moves because its body, made of a super-thin material that includes silicon and is elastic, is designed to change its shape when zapped with a laser beam. As a specific spot ...

State broadcaster CCTV showcases defence university’s miniature bionic robots suited to reconnaissance and battlefield missions.

These 'pop-up' micro-robots move to the beat of the light. Here’s a look at how they were made. By Charlotte Hu Published May 25, 2022 5:00 PM EDT ...

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 ...
