MIT has designed a small robot with the ability to flip, jump across rough terrain, and even hop onto another robot mid-air. A key problem following disasters like earthquakes and building collapses ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a ...

MIT researchers have demonstrated aerial microrobots that can fly with speed and agility that is comparable to their ...

Ripple bugs’ fan-like legs inspired engineers to build the Rhagobot, a tiny robot with self-morphing fans. By mimicking these insects’ passive, ultra-fast movements, the robot gains speed, control, ...

Forget robot wolves and missile-deflecting satellites — those things are already becoming old news. Instead, future wars just might revolve around insect-size spy robots. A recent digest of ...

Researchers in California have created an incredibly small robot that needs no battery or wired power supply to zip through the air. Instead, it uses magnets to fly. A magnetic field produced by an ...
