Researchers at the University of Tokyo created DRAGON, a flying robot. The name loosely stands for “Dual-Rotor embedded multilink Robots of multi-deGree-of-freedom aerial transformation.” DRAGON is an ...

Nitin J. Sanket, a professor at WPI, has developed small flying robots with his team that fit in the palm of a hand and use ...

Listen, we’re all big fans of science here—but sometimes, science gets it wrong. Case in point: Japanese engineers have created an utterly creepy robot spider that’s also capable of flying around like ...

The "flying dragon" might make a bit of watery mess as it does its job, and not all the water it squirts will go exactly where it's needed, but on the other hand it's a clever and fun way to aerially ...

A flying robot can float on gusts of wind like a bird, using 150 times less power than it does during propelled flight. It can also adjust its position automatically when the wind changes to catch the ...

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have just unveiled the world’s smallest flying robot. With a wingspan of just 9.4 millimeters and weighing 21 milligrams — smaller than a grain ...

China plans to send a flying robot to the far side of the moon next year to search for the frozen water that could hold the key to future lunar exploration, as the country pushes forward with its ...

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 ...

CES, the yearly confab for tech heads in Las Vegas, has always been a must-attend for gadget geeks — and 2025 is no exception. There are robo-vacuums and robo-lawn mowers. There are superfast phone ...

Let’s say you want to build a swarm of inch-long flying robots. (Maybe you’ve got a DARPA grant. Maybe it’s an art project—-imagine if those moved.) Flying is complicated and requires a lot of ...

A new drive system for flapping wing autonomous robots has been developed, using a new method of electromechanical zipping that does away with the need for conventional motors and gears. A new drive ...
