A research team from Tsinghua University in China has successfully developed a miniature wireless amphibious robot that is only 9 centimeters long and weighs 25 grams. This innovative achievement was published online in the international authoritative journal Nature Machine Intelligence on Friday (April 18, 2025).

According to reports, this robot can run and fly, and is very flexible in the air and on the ground, with a maximum ground movement speed of 1.6 meters per second. In the future, this miniature wireless amphibious robot can be used in scenarios such as equipment fault diagnosis and maintenance, geological and cultural relics exploration, and can replace humans to perform a variety of tasks in complex and dangerous environments. Micro-actuators can also enable bioelectronic devices to build deployable implantable medical devices, tactile feedback interfaces for VR/AR scenarios, etc.
