Analysts say the miniature device is well-suited for surveillance but has limited potential on the battlefield.

Researchers at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf have developed flexible robot wings that are moved by magnetic fields. Inspired by the efficiency ...

A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...

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 ...

Aerial robots, on the other hand, are not so resilient. Poke holes in the robot's wing motors or chop off part of its propellor, and odds are pretty good it will be grounded.

The concept of the flying robot is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their bodies when at rest, and then deploy them to power flight.

The four wings provide lift, and steer the robot so that its single leg lands precisely. The wings aren’t for flying in the usual sense. They provide lift, but also help the tiny device steer ...

The robot will then bring it to a Wing AutoLoader station “a few blocks away,” according to Serve, where a drone will complete the delivery.

Robots cooking chicken wings might sound like a storyline from a sci-fi movie, but it’s actually the latest concept from Wavemaker Labs, the corporate innovation and product development incubator ...

Drones and sidewalk delivery robots promise to make last-mile delivery cheaper and more efficient, but they both have their limitations. Uber-backed Serve Robotics and Alphabet’s Wing are ...

A Serve Robotics sidewalk delivery robot hands off a food delivery to Wing’s drone AutoLoader. Image Credits: Serve Robotics “If you look at delivery the way it is today, it’s always ...
