Light powers the world's smallest programmable robot, at about 0.3 millimeters long
The robots are powered by tiny microcomputers developed by David Blaauw and Dennis Sylvester, engineers at the University of Michigan. Their processors run on just 75 nanowatts of power, around one ...
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 ...
The loss of pollinators, such as bees, is a huge challenge for global biodiversity and affects humanity by causing problems in food production. Researchers have now developed the first passively ...
iRobot Corp. (NASDAQ:IRBT), a leader in delivering robotic technology-based solutions, has unveiled pre-production prototypes of the iRobot(R) 110 FirstLook(TM) unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). A small, ...
The extinction of pollinators like bees poses a serious threat to biodiversity worldwide and has negative effects on human health by impairing food production. Now, researchers at Tampere University ...
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 ...
