Spinning-mass robots that roll and swim could soon achieve insect-like flight
An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to ...
This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...
Discover the fascinating world of advanced micro-robots in this video by Innovative Techs, featuring Festo’s latest flying robots. Blending lightweight design with precision engineering, these ...
In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...
By studying the American grasshopper’s unique folding wings, researchers created 3D-printed models to test various ...
Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.
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 ...
About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
