A recently created RoboBee is now outfitted with its most reliable landing gear to date, inspired by one of nature's most graceful landers: the crane fly. The team has given their flying robot a set ...

As previously reported, the ultimate goal of the RoboBee initiative is to build a swarm of tiny interconnected robots capable ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search ...

The Harvard team has harnessed behaviours that are so reliable they make animals act as robots while still maintaining their ...

Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient ...

The robot’s controller allows it to adapt smoothly to different surfaces, adjusting its movements without hesitation. For example, jumping on grass needs extra thrust because the blades of grass ...

But a team of researchers at Harvard has recognized that there are some behaviors that are so instinctual that it's possible ...

A team of researchers from MIT has created a small but powerful robot that can jump like an insect and move across rough and ...
