Robot Living

This tiny robot is the size of a quarter. Using a Picaxe microcontroller, Instructibles author mikey77, built this tiny robot.  Mikey77 states:

The main problem with building really small robots is the relatively large size of even the smallest motors and batteries. They take up most of the volume of a micro robot. I am experimenting with ways to eventually make robots that are truly microscopic. As an interim step, I made the three tiny robots and the controller described in this instructable. I believe with modifications, these proof of concept robots, could be scaled down to microscopic size

Check out the Instructable for pictures of more tiny robots.
