Scientists at MPI-IS have developed electrically driven robotic components, called HEXEL modules, which can snap together into high-speed reconfigurable robots. Magnets embedded along the outside of ...
Researchers have created microscale robots less than 1 millimeter in size that are printed as a 2D hexagonal 'metasheet' but, with a jolt of electricity, morph into preprogrammed 3D shapes and crawl.
The legacy of microscale robotics at Cornell continues to unfold – and refold and unfold itself again. The latest addition is a robot less than 1 millimeter in size that is printed as a 2D ...
