MIT Engineers Create Miniature Zinc-Air Batteries for Cell-Sized Robots, Revolutionising Autonomous Technology
MIT engineers have made a significant breakthrough with the development of a tiny zinc-air microbattery, measuring just 0.1 millimetres in length and 0.002 millimetres thick, about the width of a human hair. This innovative battery captures oxygen from the air to oxidise zinc, generating a potential of up to 1 volt, which is sufficient to operate s...

Anthrobots: Human Cell-Derived Tiny Robots Leave Scientists Surprised
Anthrobots, constructed from human tracheal cells, are bio-robots that possess self-assembly capabilities, enabling movement and promoting the growth of neurons.

Vibrating Pill, Ingestible Sensor To Tackle Gut Disorders: Research
A pill that vibrates to relieve constipation, a sensor that can be tracked in the gut -- medical researchers are turning to tiny robots to treat or diagnose gastrointestinal disorders.

MIT Researchers Develop Insect-Sized Robot Fireflies That Emit Light When Flying
A team of researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created insect-sized robots that emit light when they fly. The ability of these tiny robots to emit light can enable them to communicate with each other. It also makes tracking the robots more precise and efficient. While large robots can communicate using myriad tools, robots as t...

NASA to Send Tiny Robot MIRA to International Space Station for Simulating Surgeries
NASA will send a tiny surgical robot to space for a test mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS) in 2014. The robot named MIRA or miniaturised in vivo robotic assistant has been in the making for nearly 20 years by the researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

World’s Tiniest Remote-Controlled Walking Robot Developed in Shape of a Crab, Smaller in Size Than a Flea
Northwestern University engineers have created the smallest-ever remote-controlled walking robot in the shape of a crab. Though the research is still in its early stages, the team hopes their technology will help them get closer to developing micro-sized robots that can do practical jobs in constrained locations.

California Startup Bionaut Labs Wants to Send Tiny Robots Inside Human Skull to Treat Brain Disorders
California startup Bionaut Labs wants to send tiny robots deep inside the human skull in hope to treat brain disorders. These robots will be carefully guided through the brain using magnets. First clinical trials on humans are planned in the next two years.

Space Rovers Become First-Ever Spacecraft To Land On Asteroid Surface
On a primitive piece of space rock more than 100 million miles from Earth, two tiny robotic explorers took their first cautious "hops" this weekend - the first movements made by any human-made spacecraft across the surface of an asteroid.

A Robot Submarine Found The 'Holy Grail Of Shipwrecks'
The San Jos, the largest galleon and the flagship of one group of Spanish ships that started sailing in the 16th century, was big and - thanks to 62 bronze cannons engraved with dolphins - deadly enough to deter or destroy ships, whether pirates or rival nations.
