Tiny Robo-beetle is powered by liquid methanol-fuelled ‘muscles’
Robo-beetle weighing less than 1/100th of an ounce is powered by liquid methanol-fuelled ‘muscles’ At such small scales, batteries are not very efficient at storing energy for robots This means microrobots often rely on external power sources, limiting autonomy US researchers created RoBeetle which is powered instead by liquid methanol Combustion of the fuel causes … Read more
