Micro Robots Shaping Our Future

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania have designed and built millions of functional microscopic robots that can be programmed to do a variety of things. One can only imagine the endless possibilities of what you can do with these tiny robots at your disposal. The researchers will be presenting their work at the American Physical Society March Meeting in Boston.
