Perhaps as a child, you recall gazing at water striders on a lazy summer day. These pond insects appear to, seemingly against all odds, glide across the water—even jumping sometimes. By elucidating ...

Some legged robots end up moving with ponderous deliberation, or wavering in unstable-looking jerks. A few unfortunates manage to do both at once. [MusaW]’s 3D Printed Quadruped Robot, on the other ...

The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can make itself skinnier to squeeze through tight horizontal gaps. Its name an acronym for "Compliant Legged Articulated ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

The flying RoboBee robot uses an electrode patch to stick to almost any surface, from glass to wood to leaves. It detaches when the power supply is switched off. As engineers and scientists ...

Engineers at University of California, Berkeley have created an insect-like robot that can scamper along quickly and turn on a dime - perhaps literally. The bot owes its fancy footwork to… well, its ...

Engineers are (rapidly) getting better at building smaller and smaller robots. Last year, for example, researchers at Purdue University made microbots capable of somersaulting their way through people ...

The WALTER – The Arduino Insect Robot is one of the robotic projects that mimic insect movements. This robot capabilities can be considered already as part of the development of artificial ...
