Cornell researchers’ diffractive robots measure just 2 to 5 microns—significantly smaller than their previous record-holding 40-70 micron walking robots. These new robots are designed to ...

The result is a short of inch-worm wriggle, or “walking.” The robots can also “swim” through a fluid to achieve the same result, Cornell says. To actually image, the robots can ...

These robots will be inspired by the body structures and movement styles of ancient fish from the Late Devonian period—when their evolution began—as well as present day “walking fish” like ...

Cornell scientists already hold the world's record for the world's smallest walking robot at 40-70 microns. The new diffractive robots are "going to blow that record out of the water," said Itai ...
