Robot uses springy leg . Typically, insect-scale robots fly or crawl, but hopping offers energy efficiency. The MIT robot ...

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

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 ...

“If we apply principles from how insects operate, then we may be able to develop robots that have similar capabilities at a much smaller size than traditional robots. This has potential applications ...

A team of researchers from MIT has created a small but powerful robot that can jump like an insect and move across rough and ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through ...

[MusaW]’s 3D Printed Quadruped Robot, on the other hand, moves in rapid motions that manage to look sharp and insect-like instead of unstable. Based on an earlier design he made for a 3D ...

MIT Engineers have built an insect-sized jumping robot that can cross tough terrain and carry heavy loads. MIT researchers ...

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.

A team of Chinese scientists has created a six-legged "space mining robot" inspired by insects, which could be used for prospecting and mining on the moon or asteroids in the future. Unlike ...
