Tiny robot harvests battery power via skin on its feet

According to New Atlas · Robotics, researchers have developed a paper-thin foot membrane that lets crawling microrobots harvest electricity directly from the ground beneath them. The approach is intended to ditch heavy onboard batteries by turning metal and silicon surfaces into an active power source. This information comes from the original source and was organized by AI.
