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 ...

Robotic versions of flying insects hold a lot of promise for numerous applications, but controlling their yaw axis while in flight has proven challenging. A new bee robot, however, addresses that ...

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 ...

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.

See, I saw that Epson had released a new model of their “World’s Lightest Micro-Flying Robot” – you know, the one that was a big deal late last year – and thought, “We’ve already talked about that.

Birds are magnificent creatures that can teach us a lot about the art of flying, so it is only logical for humans to study them to come up with smarter, more efficient, and useful types of aircraft.

Small robots could get more lift when they hover by moving their wings in a “treading water” motion instead of flapping them like hovering insects do. In an experiment with a robotic wing, Swathi ...
