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 ...

By studying how grasshoppers glide and fold their wings, researchers are finding new ways to extend flight time for ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now ...

Grasshopper’s gangly, awkward flight could solve the biggest power problems in robotics. Standard micro-bots are modeled ...

Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects. These machines could help locate survivors in places humans and larger robots cannot ...

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 ...

Researchers Demonstrate the First Plausible Mechanism for the Acoustic Mirroring Effect in Tropical Bats Scientists built a ...

About 350 million years ago, our planet witnessed the evolution of the first flying creatures. They are still around, and some of them continue to annoy us with their buzzing. While scientists have ...

Why do researchers think big-eared bats can find hidden insects without having to scrutinize every leaf in a forest?Their ...
