Controlling insect-based robots has long been an area of interest for researchers looking to combine the mobility and ...

MIT researchers are building insect-sized robots that can fly, swim, jump on water, and even use tiny explosions to move.

Could a matchbox-sized robot outfly a dragonfly in a disaster zone? Thanks to a breakthrough in AI-driven control of ...

(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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
