A team at UC Berkeley has developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, inspired by bumblebees. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring under a centimeter in diameter, the miniature ...

Drawing inspiration from insects, researchers at Harvard University have engineered a landing gear and control strategy that allows miniature flying robots to achieve safe landings on different ...

Butterfly body pitch helps maintain stable hovering. Researchers study this to design quieter, efficient MAVs.

Since we almost certainly will live and work with flying robots in the future, scientists have been looking for a better and safer way to fly. A flying robot bat may provide the answer.

That energy is then released as the spring rebounds, propelling the robot up into the air. Its wings beat to provide extra lift, allowing it to hop as high as 20 cm (7.9 in) while moving laterally ...

At less than 1.5 inches tall, the latest bipedal robot from Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering can navigate smaller spaces than any other two-legged robot in the world.

Zhang said the research offers new ideas and routes to the development of miniature robots. In the future, such untethered terrestrial-aerial microrobots could be used in scenarios such as ...

The flying robots are not intended to replace existing systems on the ground, but rather to complement them in a targeted manner for repairs or in disaster areas, for instance. Robotic arms and 3D ...
