A new insect-scale robot developed at MIT is reshaping how robotics can be used in challenging environments like disaster ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger ... robot's wings during its aerial phase to compensate. Due to its small size and light weight, the robot has an even smaller moment ...

RoboBee now lands safely, thanks to insect-inspired legs and a smarter controller designed by Harvard engineers.

Tiny flying robots could perform such ... combined into a rectangular device about the size of a microcassette. The wings managed to flap like an insect’s, but the bot couldn’t fly for long.

Biodegradable aquatic robots use food-grade fish materials to monitor water, deliver nutrients, and disintegrate.

In 2024, MAB Robotics unveiled the Honey Badger, a quadruped robot demonstrated in footage to operate effectively underwater and on land. Its amphibious nature makes it versatile for applications like ...

Microscopic electromechanical devices inspired by the structure of insect muscles are transforming tiny robots, improving their power, precision, flexibility and size. Miniature robots range from ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger ... robot's wings during its aerial phase to compensate. Due to its small size and light weight, the robot has an even smaller moment ...

The new design halves the size of the team’s earlier model ... Despite the team’s improvements, the robotic insects still cannot match the capabilities of natural pollinators.

Robotics is advancing at an incredible pace, becoming smaller, smarter, and more innovative. A remarkable example is MIT's RoboBees project, which showcases the ...
