China has successfully developed a moon robot with both limbs and wheels—presumably to be used to extract resources from the ...

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

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 ...

One of the most commonly suggested uses for tiny robots is the search for trapped survivors in disaster site rubble. The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can ...

Inspired by nature's adaptability, researchers at CU Boulder have developed CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, a versatile robot capable of altering its shape to navigate ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

A little bug-inspired robot created by a team of engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder has the potential to someday aid first responders during disasters. The robot’s name is CLARI, which ...

A tiny micro-robotic insect wing hangs off the front of a circuit board. The idea of being a “fly on the wall” in an enemy headquarters has been a goal of intelligence agencies for as long as there ...

Rapid declines in insect populations are leading to concerns that the pollination of important crops could soon come under threat. Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of ...

President Trump signed an executive order to hit pause on a law banning TikTok and to provide a liability shield to business partners of the popular video app. According to the order, the law will be ...
