Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a ...

Soft-bodied robots are unlocking a new era of adaptive machines that can safely interact with the human body, squeeze through ...

This is claimed to be the world's smallest untethered flying robot – two minuscule magnets get inserted in the ring visible at the top Adam Lau/Berkeley Engineering 2 / 3 ...

However, up to now, building robots that can do this was challenging, as the systems were either to complex, or heavy to fly properly. Won Dong Shin and his colleagues overcame these engineering ...

Tiny flying robots could perform such useful tasks as pollinating crops inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of agriculture’s harmful impacts on the environment.

SPIDAR, a hybrid aerial-terrestrial robot, uses vectoring rotors for agile flight and crawling across diverse terrains.

Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide a mechanical solution. Numbers of critical pollinators like bees and butterflies are declining rapidly in the face of environmental ...

Harvard's RoboBee will one day conduct artificial pollination and survey disaster zones, but first it has to stop crash landing.

The flying robots are not intended to replace existing systems on the ground, but rather to complement them in a targeted manner for repairs or in disaster areas, for instance. Robotic arms and 3D ...

Control algorithms had to be developed to control the changes in position and posture of the humanoid robot so that it can fly freely in space. The algorithms are designed in such a way that the ...
