Berkeley -- Many insects and spiders get their uncanny ability to scurry up walls and walk upside down on ceilings with the help of specialized sticky footpads that allow them to adhere to surfaces in ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of ...

In the future, farmers could grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses with the help of more efficient methods for artificial pollination. This approach could significantly increase yields ...

Two insect-like robots, a mini-bug and a water strider may be the smallest, lightest and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever known to be created. Such miniature robots could someday be used for ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Water striders are fascinating to watch, as they scoot across the water while supported by surface tension. Scientists have now built a tiny robotic version of the insect, which utilizes a ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any ...

Within two years, researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle, intend to flight-test a package of commercial flight control sensors on the RoboFly, which already has advanced the field of ...

Swarms of robotic insects could someday help us explore other planetary realms. A researcher at California State University, Northridge mechanical engineering professor Nhut Ho, has been awarded a ...

Computer controlled or robotic insects are not new, however recent advances are more sophisticated that anything that has gone on before. Back in 2012, Digital Journal ran a feature looking at how ...
