Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a grain ...

Now, however, Stanford researchers have used artificial intelligence to steer a free-flying robot aboard the International ...

Humanity has come a long way over the last few hundred years, but we are still terrifyingly vulnerable and susceptible to fires. Firefighters have employed tank-like robots that carry hoses into ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

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 ...

TL;DR: Engineers at UC Berkeley developed the world's smallest wireless flying robot, less than 1cm in diameter and weighing 21mg. Powered and controlled by an external magnetic field, it can hover, ...

(Nanowerk News) Biologically inspired robotics aims to replicate the extraordinary versatility found in nature. Chameleons alter skin pigmentation to camouflage against predators. Birds morph wings ...

CES, the yearly confab for tech heads in Las Vegas, has always been a must-attend for gadget geeks — and 2025 is no exception. There are robo-vacuums and robo-lawn mowers. There are superfast phone ...
