Engineers create 1 100th of an inch wide micro robotic tentacles

Engineers create 1 100th of an inch wide micro robotic tentaclesImagine a swarm of ant-robots carrying strands of threads to build a nest. That could become a reality with the research presented by a team of engineers from Iowa State University. The engineers have developed 8 mm long micro-robotic tentacles that can aid tiny robots in gripping & handling delicate objects. The tentacles are
