Earlier versions of insect-scale robots could only fly slowly and along predictable paths. The new robot changes that dynamic ...

A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop.

Tiny flying robots may soon help rescue people trapped after earthquakes or explore dangerous, hard-to-reach places. But ...

Mosquitoes live almost everywhere on Earth and are easy to rear. The team estimates that organic 3D printing nozzles made ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a ...

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 ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects; these ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a micro-flapping-wing robot that exhibits ...

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 ...
