The Electronic Dolphin is a small robot developed by engineers from RMIT University in Australia to test an innovative method for cleaning oil spills from the ocean. It is a remote-controlled ...

Researchers at Penn and the University of Michigan have developed the world’s smallest, fully autonomous robots. The health ...

Cornell researchers in physics and engineering have created the smallest walking robot yet, and its tiny size is only a side-effect. Controlled by magnets and small enough to diffract visible light, ...

A new Electronic Dolphin robot can clean up oil spills using a sea urchin-inspired filter that pulls in oil while pushing water away.

Robots are super interesting, but you probably shouldn’t start learning about them with a full-sized industrial SCARA arm or anything. Better to learn with something smaller and simpler to understand.

Small delivery robots that use pedestrian areas are spreading on college campuses, with Serve Robotics introducing the latest models with improved sensor and computing power. The industry is now ...

Fixing underground water pipes usually means digging up roads and sidewalks — a process that's disruptive and expensive. However, researchers at the University of Sheffield in the U.K. are working on ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Moving through the world as a microorganism isn’t always easy ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...
