- Hello again,
-
- From postings in this group, it sounds like technology is presently
- unable to produce extremely small programmable robots capable of
- self-navigation.
-
- My question now is, how small could you make a robot that will travel
- to a specific source if it is given some type of either electric or
- magnetic field?
