A researcher belonging to Mavlab, a laboratory that develops a small flight robot at Delft University of Technology, imitates an agile movement of insects, thereby making it possible to perform small ...

While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now ...

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 ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects. These machines could help locate survivors in places humans and larger robots cannot ...

If you think the world doesn't need a swarm of robotic flies you’re wrong. Seriously. We meet the team behind RoboFly, who have big plans after a huge breakthrough. A swarm of tiny flying robots seems ...

By studying how grasshoppers glide and fold their wings, researchers are finding new ways to extend flight time for ...

If you think the world doesn't need a swarm of robotic flies you’re wrong. Seriously. We meet the team behind RoboFly, who have big plans after a huge breakthrough. Written by Will WebsterPublished on ...

UC Berkeley's flying robot has two unusual features: it is probably the smallest in the world and is powered and controlled by a magnetic field. The model for what is probably the world's smallest ...

Jumping is common in the insect world, however, it’s less common when it comes to insect-scale robotics. Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a tiny hopping ...

In a study published in Science Advances, researchers unveiled a 21-milligram (mg), 9.4-millimeter (mm) wingspan, magnetically powered flying robot—the smallest and lightest untethered aerial robot to ...
