Bruce Donald and his
colleagues, engineers and
computer scientists from
Dartmouth College have
built the smallest robot in
the world which is the
thickness of human hair
and shorter than the sharp
point of a thumb tack,
integrated in a small
package, wireless
powered and controlled.
However, the robot takes
over ten thousand steps a
second and continue their
motion for over half an
hour with no sign of
fatigue, with net motion
of over one foot in length.
That represents over 30
million steps; a human
taking that many steps
would go over half way
around the world.
