  2. 👾#Robots So Tiny That 100 Can Fit On Chip Smaller Than Fingertip

    "Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Michigan created microscopic machines measuring just 210 to 340 micrometers wide (roughly the size of a paramecium or two human hairs laid side by side) that pack in an onboard computer, temperature sensors, memory, communication systems, and propulsion."

  7. MIT engineers just dropped some serious tech: microrobots that fly as fast as bumblebees! 🐝 Using a new AI controller, these tiny flyers can do continuous body flips and might revolutionize search and rescue.

    Imagine these buzzing through rubble! What's the wildest use case you can think of for insect-sized robots?

  8. Claire chatted to Prof. Simone Schuerle about #microrobots, medicine and science. Simone leads the Responsive Biomedical System Lab at ETH Zürich. She develops #diagnostic and therapeutic systems at the nano- and microscale to tackle challenging problems in #medicine.

  9. "[T]he clever little #microrobots with a tiny motor, LiPo battery, proximity sensor, & [an #ATtiny1614] #microcontroller ... weigh only 5 grams & are about the same size as a US dime (about 18 mm), hence the name #Dimebots" hackster.io/news/meet-the-dime

  10. Washington State University researchers have created the world's smallest, lightest, and fastest micro-robots, resembling a mini-bug and a water strider. Weighing eight and 55 milligrams, these micro-robots move at approximately six millimeters per second.

    They feature tiny, less than a milligram actuators made of shape memory alloy (SMA) for movement without traditional motors. SMA technology allows efficient and energy-saving operation, requiring minimal electricity or heat.

    The robots demonstrate remarkable agility and efficiency, with potential applications in artificial pollination, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and robotic-assisted surgery. Future enhancements may include studying natural insect movements for optimization.

  11. Happy National Day Italy! Buona festa della Repubblica! 🇪🇺🇮🇹

    On #FestaDellaRepubblica, let’s have a look at @StefanoPalagi's ERC-funded research. Based @ScuolaSantAnna, his intelligent #microrobots can autonomously navigate through body tissues!
