Could a matchbox-sized robot outfly a dragonfly in a disaster zone? Thanks to a breakthrough in AI-driven control of ...

Harvard University technologists have designed a small aerial bot. The flying robot uses static electricity to adhere to the underside of a leaf and to rest on other materials. The flying device has ...

That’s according to Jonathan P. How, describing the breakthrough that has pushed insect-scale aerial robots into a new ...

A new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. The flying robot is less than 1 centimeter ...

Grasshoppers may not spring to mind as paragons of graceful flight. But for a team of Princeton engineers, these gangly insects have inspired a new approach to robotic wings. Typical designs for ...

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...

(Nanowerk News) This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment of miniature electronic backpacks on the back of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, turning them into insect-hybrid robots. This ...

Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). A professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical ...
