Designing a small-scale flying robot posed significant challenges. Traditional flying robots rely on onboard power sources ...

For all their bad qualities, though, there are some cool things about cockroaches. One specific species of cockroach produces milk more nutritious than cow's milk, and a U.S. zoo ...

To enable rescue teams to rescue people trapped under the rubble of collapsed structures, researchers from MIT Lincoln Laboratory, working in conjunction with researchers at the University of Notre ...

With real-life data and experience, this deployment will contribute to the development of insect-hybrid robot capability. The first deployment was at a collapsed hospital and the cockroach-hybrid ...

The bumblebee-inspired robot isn’t the only robot created by UC Berkeley engineers. Lin’s team also invented “cockroach” robot that can sprint across the floor and can live even after being stepped on ...

In addition to the new bumblebee-inspired robot, Lin's team has also created a cockroach-inspired robot that can scurry across the floor and survive being stepped on by a human. And Yue is working on ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...

The insect-robot hybrids are fitted with tiny ‘backpacks’ containing infrared cameras and sensors to detect human heat ...

Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley have created the world’s smallest flying robot that can be controlled without any wires. This tiny insect-like machine is less than 1 centimeter ...

A tiny flying robot, lighter than a grain of rice, redefines what’s possible in micro-robotics. Inspired by bees, this insect ...
