Earlier versions of insect-scale robots could only fly slowly and along predictable paths. The new robot changes that dynamic entirely. The updated hardware enables tight turns, rapid acceleration, ...

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

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

MIT researchers developed an aerial microrobot that can fly with speed and agility comparable to real insects. The research opens the door to future bug-sized robots that could aid in ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a flying robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee and could, someday, help with search-and ...

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, ...

One of the largest and strongest beetles in the world hardly seems the best inspiration for a delicate flying microbot. But using slow-motion cameras to capture the critters in flight, an ...

Researchers have unveiled a microrobot that flies with speed and agility, mirroring the motion of real insects; these machines could help locate survivors ...

Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

Did you envision a giant machine assembling cars, Data from "Star Trek," C-3PO from "Star Wars" or "The Terminator"? Most of us would probably think of something massive -- or at least human size. But ...

To improve the next generation of insect-size flying machines, Johns Hopkins engineers have been aiming high-speed video cameras at some of the prettiest bugs on the planet. By figuring out how ...
