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.

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 ...

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 ...

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

UC Berkeley's flying robot has two unusual features: it is probably the smallest in the world and is powered and controlled by a magnetic field. The model for what is probably the world's smallest ...

The flying robot can bend its legs and land in a similar way to humans jumping from a height, the Chinese experts told state media, though the reports did not specify how many legs it has.
