Earlier versions of insect-scale robots could only fly slowly and along predictable paths. The new robot changes that dynamic ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects; these ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a ...

Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed an insect-like robot that achieves flight by flapping a pair of tiny wings. The robot is small enough to ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a ...

Researchers from MIT have developed aerial microrobots that are roughly 450% faster with about 250% better acceleration in ...

(Nanowerk News) A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears – and transmission systems to connect the components together, but these can weigh the robot down and fail in ...

A small robot with wings like an insect can fly and generate more power than a similarly sized animal in nature. Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears and ...

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 ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.
