Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) researchers are unraveling the secrets of the fruit fly brain to advance robotics. A team from the institution's Neuroengineering Laboratory have used ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

This adolescent-looking android is the first flying humanoid robot — but the internet is creeped out by how it looks. The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) recently shared a video that updated ...

TL;DR: Engineers at UC Berkeley developed the world's smallest wireless flying robot, less than 1cm in diameter and weighing 21mg. Powered and controlled by an external magnetic field, it can hover, ...

MIT researchers have developed more advanced bug-like robots that could one day pollinate indoor plants. The weight of a paperclip, these robotic bees can remain airborne for nearly 17 minutes, ...

New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables ...
