Scientists at Cornell University announced that they have developed a small robot that can dance on your hair. Moreover, this robot can move on its own without the need for any outside intervention.
While the race to produce robots in nanometer size, which is one billionth of a meter in the scientific world, continues, today, another success has been achieved in the goal of reaching these robots. Small enough to dance on a single strand of hair, scientists at Cornell Universityeven next to an ant (!)“He developed a robot.
Moreover, new robots called ‘Antbots’, which can be produced in large numbers, can operate autonomously. But the term ‘autonomous’ in these robots does not mean that the robot can make its own decisions, be able to act on their own without any outside interference. used for.
Here’s how the robot can move around your strand of hair:
According to the shared details, the robot consists of three main systems. One of them is the one that takes power from light. photovoltaic cellthe other a small one to control and direct this power. integrated circuit and finally an array it uses to move hinged leg.
According to the university’s statement, the newly developed robots are used for environmental cleaning and monitoring, monitoring and stimulating cells, and until the delivery of drugs to the targeted point. microscopic surgery may have such uses. Robots are just 100 – 250 micrometers (one thousandth of a millimeter).
The scientists who developed the robot published their work in the journal Science Robotics.
