A novel microrobotics system, assembled by a French nanorobotics team at the Femto-ST Institute in Besançon, France, pushes the limits of optical nanotechnologies.
DNA-assisted molecular robots have been developed by a research team from Hokkaido University and Kansai University.
The method produces stronger chemical bonds between silicone and plastic, reducing complexity, time and cost to develop/customize microfluidic devices.
The world’s first ‘molecular robot’ has been created by a team of scientists at The University of Manchester. This robot can perform basic tasks as well as build other molecules.
Engineering researchers have made breakthrough advancement in manipulating ‘soft robots’ using magnetic fields to remotely control microparticle chains fixed in soft robotic devices. The team has already built several devices that apply the new method.
China's leading robot producer HIT Robot Group (HRG) is to showcase its latest Nanomanipulation System at the 2016 World Robot Conference (WRC) in Beijing from October 20-25.
In March 2016, AlphaGo, the artificial intelligence (AI) program beat LEE Se-Dol, the Korean Go champion at the Asian board game.
The development of stretchy power sources would be a key factor in the development of soft robots capable of washing dishes or smart T-shirts capable of powering cell phones. Traditional batteries are rigid and thick, and therefore cannot be used in tiny malleable devices.
Spring Berman doesn’t have the droids you’re looking for. Instead, she’s developing droids that can look for you.
Duke University researchers have engineered microbes that can’t run away from home; those that do will quickly die without protective proteins produced by their peers.
