Tiny robot can be made to ‘walk’ using pulsed laser beams – Digital Trends
Cornell University has created a robot so tiny it’s not visible with the naked eye — and made it walk using pulsed laser technology.
A breakthrough robot can be made to walk by charging up its legs with pulsed laser beams, allowing it to move without the need for an onboard battery. Unfortunately, youll probably never get to see it with your own eyes.
Dont feel too bad, though: At just 5 microns thick, 40 microns wide, and a maximum of 70 microns in length, even its inventors need ultra-magnification technology to see it properly. (For reference, a micron is one-millionth of a meter or, approximately, 1/100 the thickness of …
