Scientists in the United States have developed a robot smaller than a grain of salt that can sense, think and act on its own, ...

The device advances medicine toward a future that might see tiny robots sent into the body to rewire damaged nerves, deliver medicines and analyze a patient’s cells without surgery.

Who needs big, clunky androids? The post Scientists Reveal Robot Small Enough to Travel Through Human Body appeared first on ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

In a tiny laboratory pond, a robotic stingray flaps its fins and swims around. Roughly the width of a dime, the bot dashes distances multiple times its body size. It easily navigates around corners ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

MIT engineers have quietly solved one of the biggest bottlenecks in living-tissue robotics, creating synthetic tendons that ...

Researchers from Harvard University have built a miniature robotic stingray that straddles the line between organic and synthetic. As a bio-hybrid, the soft robot is fueled by light-activated heart ...

This past week saw an intriguing confluence of multiple disciplines, in the form a new artificial stingray model its creators call a "living robot," and an unconventional means of studying the human ...
