Researchers at Stanford University have developed tiny robots that can pull weights multiple times heavier than their own thanks to features inspired by geckos and inchworms.
Tiny robots are being built that can pull objects numerous times heavier than their own body weight.
One of the smallest climbing devices, which was constructed under a microscope using tweezers, weighs 20 milligrams but has the capacity to haul 25 times that amount.
The strongest bot can pull as much as 2,000 times its own 12-gram weight, or the equivalent of a human “pulling around a blue whale.”
Researchers at Stanford University, who will present this work at an upcoming robotics conference, were able to achiev
