As previously reported, the ultimate goal of the RoboBee initiative is to build a swarm of tiny interconnected robots capable ...

Inspired by this natural design, the engineers outfitted the RoboBee with its own set of long, double-jointed legs. These new ...

Biologists and engineers designed an approach to increase the chances of a robot achieving upright and balanced landings ...

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard ...

Remotely operated robots perform tasks in dangerous or far ... which was used for a human-operator training programme, as well as for biomechanical measurement. Other work by Song’s team focuses ...

and used what they learned to design a one-legged robot with the balancing ability and leg biomechanics to correct for over- and undershooting and land successfully on a narrow perch. Engineers ...

Imagine if the current trend of a declining bee population continues, swarms of robot bees pollinating crops and flowers could become a reality. Whilst this may sound like something out of a ...
