Researchers at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed an insect-like robot that achieves flight by flapping a pair of tiny wings. The robot is small enough to ...

While much insight has been gleaned from how grasshoppers hop, their gliding prowess has mostly been overlooked. Now ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

By studying how grasshoppers glide and fold their wings, researchers are finding new ways to extend flight time for ...

A military research institute in China has unveiled a spy drone that is the same size and shape as a mosquito. The tiny unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) features hair-thin legs and two wings, which can ...

Shape-morphing, insect-scale robots that feature an origami-inspired design and eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, powered by custom piezoelectric actuators for enhanced mechanical ...

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard ...
