Scientists have built microscopic, light-powered robots that can think, swim, and operate independently at the scale of ...

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the ...

A team of researchers at the University of Washington has unveiled MilliMobile, a tiny self-driving robot that relies solely on ambient light or radio waves for power. This robot is equipped with a ...

A new “machine vision sensor” can adapt to extreme lighting conditions much faster than the human eye, in about 40 seconds. This development from Fuzhou University in China can potentially improve ...

FMCW lidar offers mobile robots better precision for navigation at scale in complex environments, says Voyant Photonics' CEO.

A new category of sensing technology transforms mobile robot vision from 2D to 3D, improves safety performance and provides 50-80% cost savings compared to traditional, LiDAR-based systems and sensor ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

When you think of a robot, your go-to is probably WALL-E, C-3PO, or R2-D2. These hunks of bolts and metal paneling bear little in common with the microrobots that have become widely used across ...

As the boundaries between robots and collaborative robots (cobots) fade, the need for fast, agile and uncaged robot systems grows rapidly. Today’s cobots typically rely on power- and force-limiting ...
