Scientists build insect-inspired soft robots on water using HydroSpread, a new fabrication method for flexible films.

Sorry MIT, but you’re not the only university in Massachusetts bringing sci-fi technology to reality. Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized ...

MIT researchers are building robot insects to mimic the way real bugs fly, crawl, and sense their environment. These micro-machines are designed to test lightweight materials, flexible electronics, ...

US Naval Research Laboratory scientists have successfully trained an Astrobee zero-gravity robot to fly in space without ...

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 ...

This breakthrough robot blends mobility and balance in ways never seen before proving the future of robotics is more versatile than ever.

Kaushik Jayaram envisions a day when swarms of tiny robots, some weighing no more than a paperclip, will crawl through airplanes or into buildings after an earthquake—searching for survivors or ...
