The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving ...

A University of Sheffield study has detailed how flies use rapid body and eye movements to boost visual processing speed, offering potential insights for AI and robotics design. Hyundai announced ...

New research decoding insect wing dynamics could enable highly stable flapping robots, improving micro-drone control, ...

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 ...

Scientists built small ant inspired robots that work together using light signals. These robots can build or dig by following ...

The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and difficult to quantify. Cornell researchers have created a computational ...

A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor sources both indoors and outdoors with consistent accuracy, even if one of its ...
