Ripple bugs’ fan-like legs inspired engineers to build the Rhagobot, a tiny robot with self-morphing fans. By mimicking these ...

A bee-like robot currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is part of a new generation ...

Although we've seen a number of different robotic water striders over the years, scientists are still finding clever new ...

According to its developers, the new prototype artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robotic system automates how miniature ...

But in a bold move, researchers have built a speedy robot with a 'brain' based on the insect's low-energy, highly efficient navigational neural network.

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to ...

A tiny micro-robotic insect wing hangs off the front of a circuit board. The idea of being a “fly on the wall” in an enemy headquarters has been a goal of intelligence agencies for as long as ...

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 ...

Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized robot that can not only fly, but swim.

This basic sounding concept involves extremely complex science and engineering. “Insects aren’t built like robots,” Humbert said. “If I have a robot and I want it to perceive the environment, I tend ...
