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, and its tiny size is only a side-effect. Controlled by magnets and small enough to diffract visible light, ...

When it comes to locomotion, robots don’t typically do more than one thing at a time. Walkers stick to walking, and rollers stick to rolling. However, this simple method of enabling a cheetah-style ...

A group of Northwestern University engineers have developed the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot. The crab robot is just a half-millimeter wide, which is narrower than a US coin, but can ...

Engineers have developed the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot -- and it comes in the form of a tiny, adorable peekytoe crab. Just a half-millimeter wide, the tiny crabs can bend, twist, ...
