Engineers are (rapidly) getting better at building smaller and smaller robots. Last year, for example, researchers at Purdue University made microbots capable of somersaulting their way through people ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a grain ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

A bio-inspired robot can use water from the environment to launch itself into the air, British researchers revealed. The robot can travel 85 feet through the air after taking off and researchers ...

TL;DR: Engineers at UC Berkeley developed the world's smallest wireless flying robot, less than 1cm in diameter and weighing 21mg. Powered and controlled by an external magnetic field, it can hover, ...

LEONARDO walks and flies to get around. Video shows the 2.5-foot prototype approach and fly over a set of steps, walk a slackline and even ride a skateboard. LEO’s ability to toggle between walking ...

The robot is shown beginning to handle basic tasks, like pushing and pulling objects, and curling around on itself to create a flying gripper ring capable of grabbing, compensating for, manipulating ...

Anyone who has ever tried to smack a fly that was annoying them knows how fast the little bugs can move and how agile they are. Scientists have been trying to create robots that can fly like insects ...

This adolescent-looking android is the first flying humanoid robot — but the internet is creeped out by how it looks. The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) recently shared a video that updated ...
