Chinese smart home brand MOVA is showcasing Pilot 70, a flying robot vacuum cleaner, alongside other robotic vacuums at CES ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay ...

Robotic arms and 3D printing gantries can already be found on construction sites – albeit mostly as heavy, permanently installed systems on the ground. They quickly reach their limits on rough terrain ...

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 ...

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 ...

ISS Commander Suni Williams helps test out an Astrobee free-flying robot, outfitted with mechanical octopus tentacles to capture dead satellites and hyper-speed space debris, as she orbits the planet ...

DARPA recognizes that insect-scale flying robots have immense military potential. In laboratories around the world, engineers are racing to shrink robotics into microscopic proportions, many examples ...

Engineers have developed a real-life Transformer that has the 'brains' to morph in midair, allowing the drone-like robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Biologically inspired robotics aims to replicate the extraordinary versatility found in nature. Chameleons alter skin pigmentation to camouflage against predators. Birds morph wings ...

Forward-looking: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have unveiled a flying robot that mimics the agility and precision of a bumblebee. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring less ...

The ATMO (aerially transforming morphobot) robot transforms from its flying, quadrotor configuration midair as it approaches the ground. It is then able to roll away in its driving configuration.
