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 ...

(Nanowerk News) A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need ...

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Understanding the aerodynamics that allow insects and hummingbirds to fly is the key to an invention that researchers hope will create a little buzz and a lot of flap. Biologists ...

A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed by a University of Bristol team, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional ...

A flying micro-robot has been developed by researchers at the University of Waterloo in Ontario. A research team lead by professor Mir Behrad Khamesee manipulated magnetic fields to levitate and move ...

In a study published in Science Advances, researchers unveiled a 21-milligram (mg), 9.4-millimeter (mm) wingspan, magnetically powered flying robot—the smallest and lightest untethered aerial robot to ...

Small flying devices that can change how they move through the air using an origami folding technique pave the way for new battery-free designs in micro-sized flying robots, or microfliers, which can ...

The loss of pollinators, such as bees, is a huge challenge for global biodiversity and affects humanity by causing problems in food production. Researchers have now developed the first passively ...

TOKYO — Seiko Epson Corp. has developed a micro robot weighing just 8.9 grams that can sort of fly. The company demonstrated the robot at the 2003 International Robot Exhibition held in late November.

The decline of pollinators, particularly bees, is having a grave impact on agriculture and human health. Scientists estimate that 4.7% of the world’s total production of fruit, 3.2% of vegetables, and ...
