Robots helped achieve a major breakthrough in our understanding of how insect flight evolved. The study is a result of a six-year long collaboration between roboticists and biophysicists. Robots built ...

Different insects flap their wings in different manners. Understanding the variations between these modes of flight may help scientists design better and more efficient flying robots in the future.

The fusion of a living beetle and a tiny control backpack, also known as cyborg beetle, enables insect free-flight study. Using such a system, researchers from Nanyang Technological University, ...

Researchers have developed a novel insect-inspired flying robot. Experiments with this first autonomous, free-flying and agile flapping-wing robot promise to improve our understanding of how fruit ...

Mechanical flying insects can soon be made using printers. Increasingly, so-called 3-D printers are being used to make items out of plastic, metal, glass, ceramic, even sugar and mashed potatoes. They ...

This project was created in order to take pictures of insects in flight using an additional optical lens system to peek for insects in focus. This project was created in order to take pictures of ...

As a flying machine, a mosquito is not efficient, but since its weight is low it gets 450 million miles per gallon of nectar, which it uses as fuel. In the Scientific Monthly, Professor Brian Hocking ...
