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 ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

This adolescent-looking android is the first flying humanoid robot — but the internet is creeped out by how it looks. The Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) recently shared a video that updated ...

A team at UC Berkeley has developed the world’s smallest wireless flying robot, inspired by bumblebees. Weighing just 21 milligrams and measuring under a centimeter in diameter, the miniature drone ...

LEONARDO walks and flies to get around. Video shows the 2.5-foot prototype approach and fly over a set of steps, walk a slackline and even ride a skateboard. LEO’s ability to toggle between walking ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...
