Watch this team of tiny micro-robots pull a car


Stanford engineers demonstrated how six tiny microTug robots — with gripping, adhesive feet inspired by geckos — can work together to pull a 4,000 pound car on polished concrete, albeit very very slowly.


The researchers from Stanford's Biomimetics & Dexterous Manipulation Laboratory published their work on the microTug bots in the current issue of the journal IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters.
