Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say a new breed of tiny flying robots that weigh less than a gram ...

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 ...

The robotic insect, which weighs less than a paperclip, can fly significantly faster than similar bots while completing acrobatic maneuvers like double aerial flips.

Why are NASA and CIA scientists making robot insects? They’re small, they’re mighty, and they might just save your life!

Friend, I regret to inform you that ant nests are computers now. Which is to say, somebody's finally made a video game ...

MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks efficiently. The team designed their tiny, flying robots to be ...

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

To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical hives to rapidly perform precise pollination. However, even the best bug ...

Despite the team’s improvements, the robotic insects still cannot match the capabilities of natural pollinators. However, the researchers aim to improve the robots’ flight time and precision to enable ...

Swarms of tiny robots, inspired by bees, capable of pollinating crops with surgical precision: these high-tech creations, developed by researchers at MIT, could well become the indispensable allies of ...
