Forward-looking: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have unveiled a flying robot that mimics the agility and precision of a bumblebee. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring less ...

Nature has perfected the art of landing. From delicate flies to buzzing bees, insects navigate complex aerial maneuvers and touchdown with high precision. But for human-made flying robots, especially ...

Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Understanding the aerodynamics that allow insects and hummingbirds to fly is the key to an invention that researchers hope will create a little buzz and a lot of flap. Biologists ...

Scientists at the University of Washington have developed flying robots that change shape in mid-air, all without batteries, as originally published in the research journal Science Robotics. These ...

An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work ...

University of Washington scientists have built a battery-free flying robot that stabilizes its descent by changing shape in mid-air—a design that was inspired by origami, according to a recent paper ...
