An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

Shape-morphing, insect-scale robots that feature an origami-inspired design and eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, powered by custom piezoelectric actuators for enhanced mechanical ...

A military research institute in China has unveiled a spy drone that is the same size and shape as a mosquito. The tiny unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) features hair-thin legs and two wings, which can ...

For years, the future was envisioned as clean lines and loud machinery. Flying vehicles, metal outfits, and flashing weapons.
