In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...
Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...
Engineers at University of California, Berkeley have created an insect-like robot that can scamper along quickly and turn on a dime - perhaps literally. The bot owes its fancy footwork to… well, its ...
Inspired by nature's adaptability, researchers at CU Boulder have developed CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, a versatile robot capable of altering its shape to navigate ...
Researchers at Harvard have developed a fleet of robotic ants that mimic the self-organizing ...
Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...
We seem to be approaching a time when it won’t be abnormal to encounter a robotic insect. Scientists at a Swiss research institute called the Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have ...
