SHRIMP program seeks to advance the state-of-the art in micro-to-milli robotics platforms and underlying technology Imagine a natural disaster scenario, such as an earthquake, that inflicts... Read more
To develop micro- and biomimetic-robots, artificial muscles and medical devices, actuating materials that can reversibly change their volume under various stimuli are researched in the past... Read more
Nanorobotics team demonstrates their new capability to manufacture optical nanotechnologies. A French nanorobotics team from the Femto-ST Institute in Besançon, France, assembled a new micro... Read more
Jumping robot spiders and swarms of robotic bees sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but researchers at The University of Manchester are already working on such projects and aiming to... Read more
A team of mechanical engineers at the University of California San Diego has successfully used acoustic waves to move fluids through small channels at the nanoscale. The breakthrough is a fi... Read more
The problem with having a microscopic robot propelled by a horde of tail-flailing bacteria is you never know where it’s going to end up. The tiny, bio-robots, which amount to a chip coated w... Read more
The tiny tube circled an ant’s thorax, gently trapping the insect and demonstrating the utility of a microrobotic tentacle developed by Iowa State University engineers. “Most robots use two... Read more
A Micro-Muscular Break Through: a micro-robotic system that simulates an active neuromuscular system
A thousand times more powerful than a human muscle, able to catapult objects 50 times heavier than itself over a distance five times its length within 60 milliseconds –  faster than the blin... Read more
This project is part of a bright future for the field of microrobotics Endoscopes — small cameras or optic fibres that are usually attached to flexible tubing designed to invest... Read more
Scientists are reporting development of a new aquatic microrobot that mimics the amazing water-walking abilities of the water strider — the long-legged insect that scoots across the su... Read more
