Inspired by fireflies, researchers created soft actuators that can emit light in different colors or patterns. These artificial muscles, which control the wings of featherweight flying robots, light ...
The newest frontier in robotics is almost invisible to the naked eye. Researchers have built a robot smaller than a grain of ...
A team of researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled MilliMobile, a tiny self-driving robot that relies solely on ambient light or radio waves for power. This robot is equipped with a ...
Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...
A robot that is capable of following a track at a maximum speed is created in this project wherein the brain of the robot is comprised by an Atmel AT90S4433. There are 2 light-sensitive resistors used ...
Why electroluminescence lighting makes sense for these microscale flyers. How EL emitters were fabricated to meet the multiple challenges and constraints. The tracking performance the team achieved ...
Robot locomotion is a broad topic, and there are a multitude of choices for the budding designer. Often, nature is an inspiration, and many ‘bots have been built to explore the motion regimes of ...
The robot, equipped with a solar panel -- like energy harvester and four wheels, is about the size of a penny, weighs as much as a raisin and can move about the length of a bus in an hour on a cloudy ...
