Meet the Robeetle, the lightest crawling robot ever created!&nbsp;Developed by <a href="https://news.wsu.edu/2021/08/23/wsu-engineers-tiny-robot-earns-world-record/">Néstor O. Pérez-Arancibia</a> from the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering in Washington State University, the robot uses air flow and pneumatics instead of electronics to move about. In addition, it is powered by the catalytic combustion of methanol.&nbsp;The Robeetle weighs just 88 milligrams or the weight of three grains of rice, and is about the size of a real beetle. Despite its miniscule size, the tiny robot can climb slopes and haul objects up to 2.6 times its own weight. The world’s smallest beetle-like robot will be featured in the upcoming Guinness Book of World Records. Check the unique robot in action on the video below!&nbsp;Image credit: Pérez-Arancibia / Washington State University&nbsp;#TinyRobots #Robeetle #LightestCrawlingRobot #Robotics&nbsp;
