For nearly half a century, the dream of microscopic robotics has felt tantalizingly close, yet perpetually out of reach. We ...

The robot is hard to see without a microscope. It’s small enough to rest on the ridge of a fingerprint and can operate in liquid for months. Inside this speck is a functioning computer, a sensor, and ...

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 ...

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

In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...

There's a new STEM option in town. The Robot Inventor kit can be turned into five robots, which can play basketball, walk, and shoot darts at intruders. Stephen Shankland worked at CNET from 1998 to ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan has reportedly developed what they suggest is the world’s smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots.

If you have a budding astro-engineer in need of a rover pal for the holidays, Amazon has cut the price of the Sphero RVR Coding Robot by 20% this holiday season. The sale is a $50 markdown from the ...
