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 ...

TL;DR: Engineers at UC Berkeley developed the world's smallest wireless flying robot, less than 1cm in diameter and weighing 21mg. Powered and controlled by an external magnetic field, it can hover, ...

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 ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

UC Berkeley engineers have created the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, which is capable of changing directions mid-air and hitting small targets. On March 28, members and alumni of campus’s ...

Robots are often limited by how they move. Wheels struggle with obstacles, legs require complex joints and control, and ...

A hopping, insect-sized robot can jump over gaps or obstacles, traverse rough, slippery, or slanted surfaces, and perform aerial acrobatic maneuvers, while using a fraction of the energy required for ...
