Six DoF miniature robots can rotate 43 times faster than previous renditions. They can move like jellyfish and pick and place miniature objects with precision. Biomedicine and manufacturing are two ...

(Nanowerk News) A team of scientists at NTU Singapore has developed millimetre-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly manoeuvrable and dexterous manipulations.

Miniature robots on the millimeter scale often lack the strength to transport instruments for endoscopic microsurgery through the body. Scientists are now combining several millimeter-sized TrainBots ...

A team of scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has developed millimetre-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly manoeuvrable ...

To clean water, researchers have designed swarms of tiny, spherical robots that collect bacteria and small pieces of plastic. Watch a Headline Science YouTube Short about this research. When old food ...

A team of scientists has developed millimeter-sized robots that can be controlled using magnetic fields to perform highly maneuverable and dexterous manipulations. This could pave the way to possible ...

When old food packaging, discarded children’s toys and other mismanaged plastic waste break down into microplastics, they become even harder to clean up from oceans and waterways. These tiny bits of ...

Robots aren’t always hulking and stationary muscle machines. There’s an entire branch of the field devoted to microrobotics, as a recent Machine Design article notes. Researchers at Nanyang ...

As a senior at MIT in 2011, John Romanishin proposed a new approach to modular robotics that relied on magnets, flywheels, and the laws of physics. While his mentors and colleagues were skeptical his ...
