Physical Intelligence in Small‐Scale Robots and Machines (Adv. Mater. 12/2026)
Abstract
Small-Scale Robots and Machines In their Perspective (DOI: 10.1002/adma.202510332), Huyue Chen and Metin Sitti review physical intelligence in small-scale robots and machines, which can integrate structural and material intelligence to enable better autonomy in extreme environments, especially medical applications inside the human body. From the nano- to millimeter scale, robots draw inspiration from nature and exhibit unique engineering wisdom, pushing the continuous development of physical intelligence.
