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 ...

Featuring micro-scale sizes, microrobots demand exacting precision and handling throughout manufacturing. Plasma treatment increases the ability to wet the surface, improving adhesion between crucial ...

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 ...

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

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.

(Nanowerk News) The concept of microrobots has evolved significantly since physicist Richard Feynman first envisioned the potential of tiny machines in the 1950s. The early prototypes of microrobots, ...

With its irregularities and anatomical complexities, the root canal system is one of the most clinically challenging spaces in the oral cavity. As a result, biofilm not fully cleared from the nooks ...

DGIST-ETH Microrobotics Research Center (DEMRC) has the following research output in the current window (1 November 2024 - 31 October 2025) of the Nature Index. Click on Count to view a list of ...

Millimeter-Scale Mechanisms and Devices / Microrobotics: Flying Robots, Rotary and Linear Actuators, Fans, Sensors. Fabrication, System Design, Modeling, Scaling Analysis, Untethered Operation, ...

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 ...

Los Angeles-based Bionaut Labs, a company developing microscale robots for treating central nervous system (CNS) diseases and disorders, said this week that it has raised $43.2M in a Series B funding.

With the bee population in distressing decline, Harvard roboticists have been looking into an artificial solution for pollinating plants. That solution: Robobees, tiny winged robots that the team ...
