Researchers at the University of Tokyo created DRAGON, a flying robot. The name loosely stands for “Dual-Rotor embedded multilink Robots of multi-deGree-of-freedom aerial transformation.” DRAGON is an ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a grain ...

Listen, we’re all big fans of science here—but sometimes, science gets it wrong. Case in point: Japanese engineers have created an utterly creepy robot spider that’s also capable of flying around like ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

A small robot with wings like an insect can fly and generate more power than a similarly sized animal in nature. Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears and ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

This adolescent-looking android is the first flying humanoid robot — but the internet is creeped out by how it looks. The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) recently shared a video that updated ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Researchers have developed a novel insect-inspired flying robot. Experiments with this first autonomous, free-flying and agile flapping-wing robot promise to improve our understanding of how fruit ...

Engineers have designed a robot with flapping wings, which can perform nimble movements in the air, hovering, darting, diving and recovering like a bird or an insect. Humans have been trying to ...

Flying insects like bees, dragonflies, and fruit flies can perform impressive aerodynamic feats, particularly when seeking to evade predators or the swatting motion of a human hand. Now Dutch ...

What you see here is actually a drone with two legs attached to its base that is capable of performing complex movements – at least that's the best way to describe this strange machine. Called ...
