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 ...
Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Tiny robots inspired by insects could soon glide across water, scouting flooded areas, monitoring pollutants, or collecting ...
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) ...
Typically, engineers perform surgery to implant electrodes into the insects’ antennae. The antennae contain sensors for smell ...

Neural network helps micro-robots fly like an insect
MIT engineers reveal an insect-scale flying robot that can perform rapid, agile maneuvers - matching key aspects of insect flight - by using a neural-network controller distilled from a robust control ...
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 ...
(Nanowerk News) This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment of miniature electronic backpacks on the back of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, turning them into insect-hybrid robots. This ...
DENVER (KDVR) — A University of Colorado Boulder researcher received a grant to build something straight out of a spy movie. The United States Air Force Research Laboratory awarded CU assistant ...
