As engineers and scientists collaborate to design ever more sophisticated aerial robots, nature has been a constant source of inspiration, with flying insects, birds and mammals providing valuable ...
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 ...
This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...
Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed an insect-like robot that achieves flight by flapping a pair of tiny wings. The robot is small enough to ...
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a tiny, insect-like flying robot that is more agile in the air, can perform acrobatic feats and has a longer flight time ...

Spinning-mass robots that roll and swim could soon achieve insect-like flight
An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to ...
RoboBee is an insect-sized robot that Harvard University is researching and developing since 2013. According to the research team, this RoboBee is "about half the size of a paper clip and weighs one ...
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 ...
Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...
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 ...
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 ...
In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...
