Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...

We’ve already seen robots that can swim like fish, stick to walls like geckos, and grab objects like elephants. Now, ...

Harvard University technologists have designed a small aerial bot. The flying robot uses static electricity to adhere to the underside of a leaf and to rest on other materials. The flying device has ...

As our skies increasingly crowd with buzzing, hovering, flitting drones, spare a thought for the humble hopping robot. Hopping, a popular form of locomotion in the insect and amphibian worlds, is ...

An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to defy gravity on its own. Nearby, a robot undulates through water like a fish. Another twists forward inside a narrow pipe.

Scientists around the world have been taking cues from the best technologist – nature – to design robots that can be helpful for areas where humans cannot reach. Massachusetts Institute of Technology ...
