DENVER (KDVR) — A University of Colorado Boulder researcher received a grant to build something straight out of a spy movie. The United States Air Force Research Laboratory awarded CU assistant ...

In the future, farmers could grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses with the help of more efficient methods for ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

Pollination is a crucial part of global food production. And yet, bee populations continue to decline as we rip away their habitats, continue to fail in our fight against climate change, and use ...

Researchers have combined research with real and robotic insects to better understand how they sense forces in their limbs while walking, providing new insights into the biomechanics and neural ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

Inspired by nature's adaptability, researchers at CU Boulder have developed CLARI, short for Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect, a versatile robot capable of altering its shape to navigate ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid farming through artificial pollination. They could prove especially useful in the ...

Cyborg cockroaches that find earthquake survivors. A "robofly" that sniffs out gas leaks. Flying lightning bugs that pollinate farms in space. These aren't just buzzy ideas, they're becoming reality.

(Nanowerk News) This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment of miniature electronic backpacks on the back of Madagascar hissing cockroaches, turning them into insect-hybrid robots. This ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

NTU Singapore scientists have built the world’s first automated cyborg insect “factory line”. Supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), this new prototype robotic system automates ...
