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

Earlier versions of insect-scale robots could only fly slowly and along predictable paths. The new robot changes that dynamic ...

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

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

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Engineers from MIT have developed aerial microrobots that are roughly 450% faster with about 250% better acceleration in ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a micro-flapping-wing robot that exhibits ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
