Australian researchers looked at how social insects work together to transport food, and applied those ideas to teams of ...

Scientists from NTU Singapore and Waseda University have developed a flexible "diving suit" for cyborg cockroaches, enabling ...

Researchers at Adelaide University have developed a new type of robotic system inspired by bees and ants that could make ...

Many insects sense their way around their immediate surroundings by means of moving feelers. Now research scientists have applied this active spatial recognition of objects to create a new mechatronic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment of miniature electronic backpacks on the back of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, turning them into insect-hybrid robots. This ...

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...

Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and uncrewed aerial systems (UAS). A professor in the Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical ...
