Quadruped "robot dogs" may move quite a bit like their canine counterparts on land, but they're not nearly as good at swimming (although some can walk underwater). Such is not the case with a new mini ...

Researchers have developed a method for steering microscopic swimming robots using light patterns and the principles of Einstein's theory of relativity. The technology is a potential first step toward ...

For decades, microscopic robots lived mostly in our imagination. Movies like "Fantastic Voyage" convinced us that tiny machines would one day cruise through the human body, fixing problems from the ...
