Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

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

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

Grasshopper’s gangly, awkward flight could solve the biggest power problems in robotics. Standard micro-bots are modeled ...

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 ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Washington State University is buzzing after researchers created a robotic bee that can fly fully in all directions. Researchers have been trying to develop artificial flying ...

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Understanding the aerodynamics that allow insects and hummingbirds to fly is the key to an invention that researchers hope will create a little buzz and a lot of flap. Biologists ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed resilient artificial muscles that can enable insect-scale aerial robots to effectively recover flight performance after suffering severe damage. Bumblebees are clumsy fliers ...

Researchers Demonstrate the First Plausible Mechanism for the Acoustic Mirroring Effect in Tropical Bats Scientists built a ...
