Video: 6 small robots pull a car weighing nearly 2 tons

uTug are tiny robots developed by scientists from Stanford University (USA) with tremendous power when they work together. This ability is said to be inspired by ants with a small body, but when they work together they can make a big difference.

During the test, 6 microrobots of size the size of cockroaches were able to pull a car weighing nearly 2 tons to a section, on smooth concrete surfaces.

David Christensen - one of the researchers at Stanford's Laboratory of Biomedical Simulation and Drivetrics, for example the combination of towing robots is like 6 people moving an object with the same weight as the Eiffel Tower .

Its impacts can be huge: instead of trying to develop powerful single robot models, instead, we will focus on the teamwork of a small team of robots, thereby accelerating. speed of construction or freight.
