"Scientists have invented a mini-robot that can move objects over 2,000 times its own weight.
And that’s not even its most impressive credential. Together with five of its comrades, this tiny robot can pull a car weighing nearly 4,000 pounds.
...For best results, each microrobot moves three of its six legs simultaneously. That strategy is modeled after ants, whose neck joints—according to a 2014 study in the Journal of Biomechanics—can withstand loads of about 5,000 times their body weight. Together, ants can lift objects much heavier than own collective weight."

Very small, like lego sized!
