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

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

The program is led by Hirotaka Sato, a professor at NTU's School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and a recognized ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...

An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...

German startup SWARM Biotactics develops cyborg insect swarms for NATO to conduct reconnaissance in GPS-denied environments.

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...

Engineers have studied how insects navigate, for the purpose of developing energy-efficient robots. With a brain the size of a pinhead, insects perform fantastic navigational feats. They avoid ...

New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables ...
