A bio-inspired robot can use water from the environment to launch itself into the air, British researchers revealed. The robot can travel 85 feet through the air after taking off and researchers ...

A remarkable video released by Stanford University shows tiny flying robots that have been modified to move loads up to 40 times their weight. By perching and using powerful winches, the robots, ...

Flying robots hold all kinds of promise when operating over dry land, but what could ones that use bodies of water as a base bring to the table? With an eye on water sampling and environmental ...

Imagine after an earthquake, a swarm of flying robots about the size of a coin spin into a room to sniff for poisonous gas. This is how the creators of the Piccolissimo imagine their tiny invention ...

Flying is an energy-intensive activity. The birds and the bees don’t hover around incessantly like your little sister’s quadcopter. They flit to and fro, perching on branches and leaves while they ...

NASA needs your help to name a new space robot, and you could win some cash doing it. NASA officials are asking space fans around the world to help name, and design a mission patch for, a new ...

When it comes to building flying robots, there's a lot to be learned from the beasts of the air. And researchers have -- we've seen robots inspired by the birds and the bees. The bat, however, is a ...

While robotics companies like Boston Dynamics continue to crank out humanoid bots that walk shockingly well—on every surface except for sand, apparently—there are, of course, limitations to using ...

Alsace-based Flying Robots, an unmanned air vehicle manufacturer, has made a certification request to the European Aviation Safety Agency for its FR102-UAV cargo transporter. The FR102-UAV can ...
