Imagine a natural disaster scenario, such as an earthquake, that inflicts widespread damage to buildings and structures, critical utilities and infrastructure, and threatens human safety. Having the ...

Caltech's ultrasound-powered "bubble bots" are biocompatible microrobots that autonomously navigate to tumors to deliver drugs or block their blood supply.

Magnetic microrobotics represents a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of materials science, engineering and biomedicine. By leveraging the unique properties of magnetic materials, researchers ...

Bionaut Labs, a company that makes micro-robotics used in the treatment of central nervous system diseases, has raised $43 million in series B financing. Bionaut’s robots work to deliver drugs at deep ...

Abstract: Millimeter-scale mechanisms, from novel actuators and sensors to insect-inspired flying vehicles, have applications in medical devices, infrastructure inspection, small satellites, and more.

The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard ...

The development of 3D-printed hydrogel cilia marks a significant leap in soft microrobotics, enabling fast, programmable ...
