How small can robots get, and can they assist in human body needs? This is what a team of researchers led by the University of Tel-Aviv hope to better understand as they examined the development of a ...

A group of Chinese researchers has created a robot with a brain made of human stem cells. The technology is technically a "brain-on-a-chip," and the researchers have been working to train the robot to ...

A new method of tissue engineering is only a proof of concept for now A new method of tissue engineering is only a proof of concept for now is a senior reporter who has covered AI, robotics, and more ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University, Israel, have created a micro-robot the size of a single biological cell that navigates using both electricity and magnetic fields and can identify and capture a ...

A team of researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel has come up with tiny micro-robots that can scan individual cells to tell whether they’re healthy or in trouble. These tiny cell inspectors, a ...

The tiny robot, only 10 microns across, is able to navigate within a biological sample, identify different types of cells, capture them selectively, and transport them for further analysis.

It’s a bizarre sight: With a short burst of light, a sponge-shaped robot scoots across a tiled surface. Flipped on its back, it repeatedly twitches as if doing sit-ups. By tinkering with the light’s ...

Gaining access to the inner workings of a neuron in the living brain offers a wealth of useful information: its patterns of electrical activity, its shape, even a profile of which genes are turned on ...

ABB ROBOTICS' RobotStudio ® offline programming and simulation software has been upgraded with a new, virtual robot braking-distance function designed to create an exact simulation of the real-world ...

The robots are alive, and now they can reproduce. That’s not a sequel to “The Terminator.” It’s the result of new research showing that microscopic life-forms made of frogs’ stem cells can ...

Researchers have developed a hybrid micro-robot, the size of a single biological cell (about 10 microns across), that can be controlled and navigated using two different mechanisms -- electric and ...
