Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed an insect-like robot that achieves flight by flapping a pair of tiny wings. The robot is small enough to ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

Tiny robots inspired by insects could soon glide across water, scouting flooded areas, monitoring pollutants, or collecting samples, thanks to a breakthrough in soft robotics. Researchers at the ...

A military research institute in China has unveiled a spy drone that is the same size and shape as a mosquito. The tiny unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) features hair-thin legs and two wings, which can ...

The robots could be used for environmental monitoring and search and rescue operations. Researchers have developed insect-sized flying robots with flapping wings. The new technology, inspired by bees ...
