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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
