In its decades-long quest to mimic life, robotics has never had much trouble duplicating its brute force. Machines have long ...

Tiny microrobots are learning to fly with insect-like speed and control, thanks to new AI-driven technology developed at MIT.

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

Tiny flying robots may soon help rescue people trapped after earthquakes or explore dangerous, hard-to-reach places. But ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

According to its developers, the new robot features flapping wings that are powered by a set of artificial muscles that ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a micro-flapping-wing robot that exhibits flight characteristics and speeds similar to those of a bee. An AI-based, ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects. These machines could help locate survivors in places humans and larger robots cannot ...

Two insect-like robots, a mini-bug and a water strider may be the smallest, lightest and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever known to be created. Such miniature robots could someday be used for ...
