Still Waters Posted May 25 #1 Share Posted May 25 (IP: Staff) · Northwestern University 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, crawl, walk, turn and even jump. The researchers also developed millimeter-sized robots resembling inchworms, crickets and beetles. Although the research is exploratory at this point, the researchers believe their technology might bring the field closer to realizing micro-sized robots that can perform practical tasks inside tightly confined spaces. The research will be published on Wednesday (May 25) in the journal Science Robotics. Last September, the same team introduced a winged microchip that was the smallest-ever human-made flying structure. https://techxplore.com/news/2022-05-tiny-robotic-crab-smallest-ever-remote-controlled.html https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scirobotics.abn0602 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
