Science has been exploring the idea of putting tiny robots inside the human body, assigning them tasks ranging from delivering drugs at target spots and performing surgery to 3D-printing inside living ...

In a joint advance from the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Michigan, engineers have designed the smallest fully programmable autonomous robots ever built – ...

Researchers have engineered tiny robots made from human cells that could potentially be used to help heal wounds, regenerate tissue, and even treat diseases. As detailed in a new study published in ...

Scientists have created microscopic living robots that may be able to help heal the very things they’re made from: human cells. The creation, which was named Anthrobots, was made by a team at Tufts ...

Medra, which programs robots with artificial intelligence to conduct and improve biological experiments, has raised $52 million to build what it says will be one of the largest autonomous labs in the ...

Researchers at Tufts University and Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have created tiny biological robots that they call Anthrobots from human tracheal cells that can move across a surface and have ...

Watch our interview with Professor Kevin Warwick, School of Systems Engineering, and Dr Ben Whalley, School of Pharmacy (WAV – 57MB) A multidisciplinary team at the University of Reading has developed ...

Cell-sized robots can sense temperature, make decisions, and move autonomously using nanowatts of power—no external control ...

We've all had the experience of staying up late and not being able to wake up the next morning. This difficulty arises due to a shift in what's known as our biological clock, which is the central ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than one direction, similar to the complex muscles in the human body. The team ...
