It is thrown into the grass, crawling or spinning and jumping; it is thrown into the water, quickly adjusting its posture, ...

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

They can do double flips and rolls. Researchers make incredible breakthrough after building robotic flying bugs: 'Real lightweight and small' first appeared on The Cool Down.

A bee-like robot currently under development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is part of a new generation of bots inspired by creepy crawlies.

The robot is built of a layered material that bends and contracts when an electric voltage is applied, allowing it to scurry across the floor with nearly the speed of an actual cockroach. UC Berkeley ...

One of the most commonly suggested uses for tiny robots is the search for trapped survivors in disaster site rubble. The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can ...

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 ...

Engineers at University of California, Berkeley have created an insect-like robot that can scamper along quickly and turn on a dime - perhaps literally. The bot owes its fancy footwork to… well, its ...

Inspired by nature's adaptability, researchers at CU Boulder have developed CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, a versatile robot capable of altering its shape to navigate ...

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 ...

Engineers have created an insect-scale robot that can swerve and pivot with the agility of a cheetah, giving it the ability to traverse complex terrain and quickly avoid unexpected obstacles. Small, ...

It is thrown into the grass, either crawling forward or rotating and jumping; it is thrown into the water, quickly adjusting its posture, transforming into a fish; that day, it fell from the top of a ...
