Dartmouth News - Dartmouth researchers build world's smallest mobile robot - 09/14/05

"When we say 'controllable,' it means it's like a car; you can steer it anywhere on a flat surface, and drive it wherever you want to go. It doesn't drive on wheels, but crawls like a silicon inchworm, making tens of thousands of 10-nanometer steps every second. It turns by putting a silicon 'foot' out and pivoting like a motorcyclist skidding around a tight turn."

Still too big to put inside a person. Anyone got an application idea for this thing? Note whose funding the research...
