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 ...

When a knot lets go, it doesn't just fall apart. It snaps. That simple observation led Penn Engineers to rethink what a knot ...

Researchers at Penn Engineering have turned a common nuisance—a knotted string—into a high-performance, heat-activated ...

The world's smallest fully programmable, autonomous robots have debuted at the University of Pennsylvania, sporting a brain developed at the University of Michigan. These microscopic swimming machines ...

US engineers develop soft robots that move without motors using liquid crystal elastomers and embedded electronics.

Humanoid and NVIDIA have jointly deployed AI-powered humanoid robots in live operations at an electronics factory. The robots ...

We need to start thinking of robots as a modern tool that we can optimally design for specific use cases rather than a panacea to solve every challenge.

Microscale swimming bots take in sensory information, process it and carry out tasks, opening new possibilities in manufacturing and medicine. (Nanowerk News) The world’s smallest fully programmable, ...
