Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.

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 flit through ...

Kaushik Jayaram envisions a day when swarms of tiny robots, some weighing no more than a paperclip, will crawl through airplanes or into buildings after an earthquake—searching for survivors or ...

Over the last several weeks “Dusty” has been cutting the grass at Atlantic City International Airport while nearby, one of Dusty’s coworkers scoops up anything that could be hazardous that appears on ...

Even the tiniest of living things are capable of some amazing forms of locomotion, and some come with highly sophisticated sensor suites and manage to source their energy from the environment.

Search and rescue missions often happen in areas that are difficult for humans to navigate due to extreme weather, rough terrain, or dangerous conditions like smoke or dust. A researcher at Worcester ...

Given all of the attention it’s been getting recently, robotics may seem like a brand-new industry. But two of the firms on our list have been around for decades—and one is a conglomerate of companies ...
