The MIT researchers were able to significantly increase the flight time of an insect-sized flapping wing robot compared to similar robots.

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 ...

Unmanned aerial vehicles may get all the headlines, but they're not the only flying robots in town. Micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) are their smaller cousins. These tiny devices could be the key to ...

However, their robot bee, while cool ... Inspired Engineering at Harvard University is known for its Flying Winged Micro Air Vehicles or FWMAV. Which is a pretty good example of what happens ...

Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, beetles, and certain birds, are essential for transferring pollen from one flower ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the ...
