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 ...

Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient ...

A new bacteria-inspired robot uses 12 spinning arms to move around the same way bacteria does and scientists want to make it ...

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, ...
