Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a grain ...

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 ...

A team at UC Berkeley has developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, inspired by bumblebees. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring under a centimeter in diameter, the miniature drone ...

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 ...

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 ...

A small robot with wings like an insect can fly and generate more power than a similarly sized animal in nature. Most flying robots, whether they use wings or propellers, have motors and gears and ...

The robot is shown beginning to handle basic tasks, like pushing and pulling objects, and curling around on itself to create a flying gripper ring capable of grabbing, compensating for, manipulating ...
