Hollywood legend James Brolin stars as a tough Texas rancher in "Ransom Canyon," a modern Western about land, loyalty, and ...

From Donald Trump becoming president to Disney buying Fox and AI robots ruling our lives, American showThe Simpsons has made ...

St. Louis Catholic School students visited Saint Francis Hospital to interact with surgical robots. The visit aimed to inspire students in STEM fields to potentially enter future healthcare careers.

These tiny robots use magnetism to move and explore tight spaces, potentially including disaster rubble or the human body. Credit: Jennifer M. McCann/Penn State A flexible, semi-autonomous robot could ...

The alternative flying locomotion, on the other hand, is more energy-intensive. Robots with legs and wheels often require even more power. MIT's hopping robot is only about 5 cm tall and weighs ...

Notably, it achieves this with 60% less energy consumption compared to a similar-sized flying robot. Previously, Interesting Engineering reported on the robotic insects created by the team that ...

Walking robots work well on flat surfaces but struggle with uneven terrain while flying robots can navigate obstacles but need lots of power to stay airborne. MIT researchers created a hopping robot ...

Abstract: Implementing ground target localization remains difficult for a flapping-wing flying robot (FWFR) owing to its intrinsically periodic flapping motion and low load capacity. In this paper, a ...

Liwei Lin, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UC Berkeley said: "This flying robot can be wirelessly controlled to approach and hit a designated target, mimicking the mechanism of pollination ...

All the while, the hopping robot consumes about 60% less energy than its flying cousin. Due to its light weight and durability, and the energy efficiency of the hopping process, the robot could carry ...

The robot’s hopping design builds on the drawbacks of tiny crawling or flying robots, which are more commonly used. The new robot is smaller than a thumb and weighs less than a paper clip.
