The Donald Lab at Duke University shows off their micro robot (or MEMS) which dances around without a tether. Measuring only 60 µm by 250 µm by 10 µm, this robot is 1 to 2 orders of magnitude smaller than previous micro-robotic systems. The robot is controllable and receives power through the surface it travels on (think upside down bumper cars). Donald Lab
