Micro robots like Robobee & HAMR-Jr could be more impactful than bigger robots like Boston Dynamics' Atlas. Biomimicry plays ...

The prototype, called the Bee++, can twist, fly in any direction and achieve the same 6 degrees of free movement that a typical insect can. The tiny robot has four wings made of carbon fiber and mylar ...

In the future, farmers could grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses with the help of more efficient methods for ...

Autonomous robots face a persistent challenge – navigating complex, unpredictable environments without human intervention. Standard navigation systems typically rely on GPS to locate a robot on a map, ...

Sorry MIT, but you’re not the only university in Massachusetts bringing sci-fi technology to reality. Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

A tiny micro-robotic insect wing hangs off the front of a circuit board. The idea of being a “fly on the wall” in an enemy headquarters has been a goal of intelligence agencies for as long as there ...

Researchers have combined research with real and robotic insects to better understand how they sense forces in their limbs while walking, providing new insights into the biomechanics and neural ...

Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...
