Researchers have developed a six-legged robot that can learn to walk by mimicking a ...

Insects may have tiny brains, but they are remarkably good at getting around. An ant can race across uneven surfaces and ...

An AI system trained on just a few steps of stick insect movement helped a six-legged robot learn to walk in an hour and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...

An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...

Researchers in Japan and Thailand have used the walking cycle of a stick insect to teach a six-legged robot the best strategy ...

Tiny robots inspired by insects could soon glide across water, scouting flooded areas, monitoring pollutants, or collecting samples, thanks to a breakthrough in soft robotics. Researchers at the ...

Rapid declines in insect populations are leading to concerns that the pollination of important crops could soon come under threat. Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide ...

The new robot design comes from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev researchers and the mechanics of the robot are based on observations taken from the natural world. The resultant machine is called ...

Do you ever see an ant skittering across your kitchen counter and wonder how this little bug overcame all the obstacles in ...
