MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a ...

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 ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

One of the most commonly suggested uses for tiny robots is the search for trapped survivors in disaster site rubble. The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can ...

Tiny microrobots are learning to fly with insect-like speed and control, thanks to new AI-driven technology developed at MIT.

Researchers at MIT have developed a flying robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee and could, someday, help with search-and-rescue missions.

Monisha Ravisetti was a science writer at CNET. She covered climate change, space rockets, mathematical puzzles, dinosaur bones, black holes, supernovas, and sometimes, the drama of philosophical ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Many insects and spiders get their uncanny ability to scurry up walls and walk upside down on ceilings with the help of specialized sticky footpads that allow them to adhere to ...

Engineers have created an insect-scale robot that can swerve and pivot with the agility of a cheetah, giving it the ability to traverse complex terrain and quickly avoid unexpected obstacles. Small, ...
