Ant-sized robots powered by vibration can move material: One day, ant-robots may even be used to repair injuries INSIDE the body
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing the power of vibrations. The team believes that swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” could one day be used to move materials, sense environmental changes and even repair injuries inside the human body. […]
