Researchers at Cornell University have created microscopic robots that, while rudimentary, promise a future in which robots can easily navigate the human body.
The robots walk on four electrochemical actuators. Besides those limbs, each robot consists of a simple circuit and operates at low voltage and low power. To control the robots, laser pulses are flashed at different photovoltaics to charge the legs. Going back and forth between the front and back photovoltai…
