Robotics researchers are constantly working to improve robots for all manner of tasks. One of the most focused areas of research is creating small robots with high levels of agility, enabling them to ...

Researchers have combined research with real and robotic insects to better understand how they sense forces in their limbs while walking, providing new insights into the biomechanics and neural ...

Small autonomous mobile robots, such as drones, rovers, and legged robots, promise to perform a wide range of tasks, from autonomously monitoring crops in greenhouses to last-kilometer delivery. These ...

Feast your eyes upon the autonomous “Snake Monster,” a walking hexapod robot whose insect-like gait permits it to deftly climb over obstacles and move at a respectable pace. The robot was developed at ...

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 ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a 3D computational model that decodes the complex ...

Crabs! Beetles! Inchworms! Oh my! Northwestern researchers announced the development of the smallest-ever remote controlled walking robots in shapes resembling peekytoe crabs, crickets and other ...

Insects rapidly transition between different walking gaits, in response to external stimuli. Scientists have now created a small robot that can do the same thing, utilizing an integrated artificial ...

The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains ...
