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 ...

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.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers are working on a new generation of tiny bots inspired by creepy crawlies.

Seiko Epson Corp. is developing a flying robot that looks like a miniature helicopter and is about the size of a giant bug. The company hopes it'll prove handy for security, disaster rescue and space ...

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.

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 ...

Obama probably wouldn’t have as much success swatting this flying microrobot as he did his now-infamous one. Typically when engineers design flying bots, they assume they should build them with ...
