Researchers in Singapore are creating cyborg cockroaches by attaching robotic devices to Madagascar hissing cockroaches to ...

MIT researchers have developed more advanced bug-like robots that could one day pollinate indoor plants. The weight of a paperclip, these robotic bees can remain airborne for nearly 17 minutes, ...

Instead of going to the time and trouble of designing and building tiny robots from scratch, some scientists are now turning existing insects into remote-control cyborgs. A new "assembly line" could ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

Mad scientists have it so easy now. Back in days of yore, if you wanted to create a death ray or giant marauding robot, you had to find suitably shady investors. Today’s young inventors simply turn to ...

A robot that looks like a giant insect is taking its first steps, advancing cautiously on its crutch-like limbs. The six-legged bot, known as Hector, can move each of its legs independently, which ...

Learn how fireflies synchronize their flashes — and how that natural coordination could inspire future small‑scale robotics.

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) ...

Cambridge, MA – In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could ...
