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 ...

Paramecium and certain other microbes move through liquid by whipping back and forth hairlike appendages known as cilia. Scientists have now developed a new type of synthetic cilia, which could find ...

One animal-inspired micro robot is the RoboBee, a device weighing less than a tenth of a gram, developed at Harvard’s Wyss Institute. The RoboBee’s wings beat hundreds of times per second—much like a ...

The tiny robot, only 10 microns across, is able to navigate within a biological sample, identify different types of cells, capture them selectively, and transport them for further analysis.

Israeli scientists have developed a hybrid micro robot that can distinguish among different types of biological cells and extract damaged cells for examination. Tel Aviv University researchers say the ...

The U.S. Army is preparing—for the first time—to develop and field micro robotic systems under programs of record, indicating confidence that the technology has matured and years of research are ...

What walks like a crab, is as small as a flea and can be remote-controlled? The latest gee-whiz wireless gizmo designed by robotics engineers. The walking robot, created to look like a peekytoe crab, ...

Open Robotics' Katherine Scott explains how micro-ROS fits in with the Robot Operating System. The micro-ROS and the ROS are open-source projects. ROS 2, the latest version, is being used in a wide ...

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 ...
