An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any ...

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 ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, inspired by insects, now show flight skills close to the real thing. In lab ...

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