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

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...

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 ...

MIT’s new insect-sized hopping robot combines the best of both worlds. Interestingly, this hopping robot is smaller than a ...

MIT researchers have developed a tiny hopping robot able to traverse difficult conditions while carrying weights several ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan ...

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

A wireless flying robot inspired by bumblebees, another that mimics jumping insects, and one that can go beneath collapsed ...
