Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

UC Berkeley engineers have created the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, which is capable of changing directions mid-air and hitting small targets. On March 28, members and alumni of campus’s ...

Forward-looking: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have unveiled a flying robot that mimics the agility and precision of a bumblebee. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring less ...

By studying the American grasshopper’s unique folding wings, researchers created 3D-printed models to test various ...

This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the ...

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 ...

A new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. The flying robot is less than 1 centimeter ...
