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 ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

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 ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A team of engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created the world's smallest wireless flying robot that's capable of hovering, changing ...

An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

Artificial intelligence has quietly crossed a new threshold in orbit, helping steer a free-flying robot through the tight corridors and crowded workspaces of the International Space Station. Instead ...
