Moving with the speed and agility of an insect, the tiny robot could someday assist in search-and-rescue missions.

Harvard University technologists have designed a small aerial bot. The flying robot uses static electricity to adhere to the underside of a leaf and to rest on other materials. The flying device has ...

Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...

MIT researchers have developed more advanced bug-like robots that could one day pollinate indoor plants. The weight of a paperclip, these robotic bees can remain airborne for nearly 17 minutes, ...

MIT researchers are building robot insects to mimic the way real bugs fly, crawl, and sense their environment. These micro-machines are designed to test lightweight materials, flexible electronics, ...

The new robot was developed for a specific science experiment; however, the construction will have wider uses in the field of aerial robotics. The device was constructed to improve scientific ...

(Nanowerk News) This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment of miniature electronic backpacks on the back of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, turning them into insect-hybrid robots. This ...

Imagine a tiny fly-like drone with delicate translucent wings and multi-lensed eyes, scouting out enemies who won't even notice it's there. Or a substantial cockroach-like robot, off on a little trip ...
