Motorless microscale robots fly and steer using sound waves

Original: Engineers build motorless microscale robots that fly and steer using sound waves

Engineers have developed tiny robots that can fly and change direction without any motors or moving parts, relying instead on sound waves for propulsion and steering. The approach could open the door to new uses in medicine and micro-manufacturing, where conventional powered devices are too large or complex. Details on the research team and results remain limited.
