A team of researchers at Cornell University has developed the world’s smallest walking robot. Designed to interact with visible light, the robot moves independently despite its tiny size. The team ...

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet. Its mission: to be tiny enough to interact with waves of visible light and still move independently, so that ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

Picture a robot controlled by micromotors so small and light that it suspends itself over water like a bug. With engineers at the University of Virginia, that’s now an achievable reality.

Fixing underground water pipes usually means digging up roads and sidewalks — a process that's disruptive and expensive. However, researchers at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. are working on ...

China has more industrial robots than the rest of the world combined, but newer, more flexible robots are keeping smaller U.S ...

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.
