Could a matchbox-sized robot outfly a dragonfly in a disaster zone? Thanks to a breakthrough in AI-driven control of ...

That’s according to Jonathan P. How, describing the breakthrough that has pushed insect-scale aerial robots into a new ...

Harvard University technologists have designed a small aerial bot. The flying robot uses static electricity to adhere to the underside of a leaf and to rest on other materials. The flying device has ...

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...

Insect-scale robots can access extremely confined spaces, demonstrating significant application potential in fields such as disaster relief and exploration within confined environments. Currently, the ...
