The design theory behind a pair of tiny insect-inspired obots may one day find its way into environmental monitoring, surgery procedures, as well as search-and-rescue missions—all while, reportedly, ...

Picture a robot controlled by micromotors so small and light that it suspends itself over water like a bug. With engineers at ...

Scientists in Germany are hard at work on an autonomous, pill-bug-like robot to be used to fight forest fires. It’s got legs like the little insect, and if the going gets too hot, it can retract them ...

Weighing less than a paper clip, they can stay aloft more than 100 times longer than previous designs. Tiny flying robots could perform such useful tasks as pollinating crops inside multilevel ...

When it comes to having robotic surgeons slicing around inside your brain, heart or other important body organ, surgeons and patients need to know that a software or hardware glitch isn’t going to ...

This is Sarcos, a robot Carnegie Mellon grad student Ben Stephens is teaching to emulate human movements using motion capture technology. Check out this unblinking bot mimic human dancing in this clip ...
