Engineers are (rapidly) getting better at building smaller and smaller robots. Last year, for example, researchers at Purdue University made microbots capable of somersaulting their way through people ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

Like a bumblebee flitting from flower to flower, a new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small ...

An international team has explored how in future aerial robots could process construction materials precisely in the air -- an approach with great potential for difficult-to-access locations or work ...

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 ...

This adolescent-looking android is the first flying humanoid robot — but the internet is creeped out by how it looks. The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) recently shared a video that updated ...
