Reading Abstract A team of scientists in Singapore has developed a micro-sized intelligent robot, the size of a grain of rice, controlled by a micro-magnetic field, capable of targeted drug delivery within the body. This micro soft robot is made from non-toxic intelligent magnetic composite materials, highly flexible, and can “navigate” through complex environments in … Read more
In the 1966 American science fiction film “Fantastic Voyage,” several American doctors shrink a submarine to a size smaller than a red blood cell and send it through blood vessels into the brain to clear a clot blocking the brain, ultimately saving a scientist’s life. From this film, we can see that the concept of … Read more
The potential of micro smart vehicles comes from their small size, low power consumption, and ability to perform simple tasks independently or collaborate in groups to complete more complex tasks. Here are some micro robots that can autonomously move, crawl, or fly. Micro crawling robot powered by radio energy Robot navigated by sound and powered … Read more
Maybe you prefer large and powerful robots, but some scientists are studying robots that are so small they are difficult to detect, because some capabilities can only be fully realized when they are smaller. Swimming Mechanical Scallops The mechanical scallop is only 0.8 millimeters long and can swim in human body fluids, opening and closing … Read more
Have you heard of “head transplant surgery”? I saw this news a while ago, but when I searched online, the world’s first head transplant surgery was actually performed back in 2016… Modern medicine always gives us the illusion – Afraid of the pain of injections? Doctors can use needle-free injectors to give you shots; Need … Read more
Introduction This is an important advancement in cluster robot technology. A research team from Hanyang University in Seoul, South Korea, has developed a cluster of micro magnetic robots that can work together like ants to accomplish a series of complex tasks, such as transporting objects much larger than themselves. This study was published in the … Read more

Unlike the production of general robots, creating soft robots is very challenging because structural, power supply, and control system changes must be made accordingly. More difficult is the need to reduce their size, especially for the part responsible for the movement control of the soft robot. Researchers from the University of Warsaw’s Faculty of Physics … Read more
