Scientists build tiny biological robots “Anthrobots” from human cells to heal the body
Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have created tiny biological robots that they call Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and have been found…
MIT’s finger-shaped sensor enables more dexterous robots
MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways. Imagine grasping a heavy object, like a pipe wrench, with one…
MilliMobile is a tiny, self-driving robot powered only by light and radio waves
Small mobile robots carrying sensors could perform tasks like catching gas leaks or tracking warehouse inventory. But moving robots demands a lot of energy, and batteries, the typical power source, limit lifetime…
Robotic Grippers Offer Unprecedented Combo of Strength and Delicacy
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a robotic gripping device that is gentle enough to pick up a drop of water, strong enough to pick up a 6.4 kilogram weight,…
