An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

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 ...

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 ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

Earlier this month, security researchers warned that a series of security flaws in vacuum and lawn mower robots made by Ecovacs could allow hackers to spy on their owners through the devices’ ...

Two insect-like robots, a mini-bug and a water strider may be the smallest, lightest and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever known to be created. Such miniature robots could someday be used for ...

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 ...
