(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 ...

A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor ...

Sorry MIT, but you’re not the only university in Massachusetts bringing sci-fi technology to reality. Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized ...

MIT engineers reveal an insect-scale flying robot that can perform rapid, agile maneuvers - matching key aspects of insect flight - by using a neural-network controller distilled from a robust control ...

Robots that track smells often fail when one of their sensors breaks. Now, researchers ...
