Engineers have created the world's smallest wireless robot capable of controlled flight. Inspired by bees the robot can hover, change direction and even hit small targets. It's less than a centimetre ...

Engineers at UC Berkeley have developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, measuring less than a centimeter in diameter and weighing just 21 milligrams. Inspired by bumblebees, the tiny ...

TL;DR: Engineers at UC Berkeley developed the world's smallest wireless flying robot, less than 1cm in diameter and weighing 21mg. Powered and controlled by an external magnetic field, it can hover, ...

A new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. The flying robot is less than 1 centimeter ...

Forward-looking: Engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have unveiled a flying robot that mimics the agility and precision of a bumblebee. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring less ...

Pollinator populations, like bees and butterflies, are collapsing all around the world. This is troubling because, in ...

A miniature flying robot has been developed to approach flowers like a living bee and act as a pollinator to transfer pollen. It is close in size to an insect but as agile as recreational drones sold ...

The robots are here and now they can fly. At the Italian Institute of Technology, engineers have built iRonCub, a robot shaped like a person (with a baby face, for some reason) that can lift off the ...

As engineers and scientists collaborate to design ever more sophisticated aerial robots, nature has been a constant source of inspiration, with flying insects, birds and mammals providing valuable ...

In recent years, drones with the size and maneuverability of insects have been developed, but most micro-aerial vehicles (MAVs) weighing less than 1g can only hover or fly at low speeds for less than ...
