NYU's Leif Ristroph wanted to design an exceedingly simple miniature flying robot. Instead of finding inspiration in insects, he turned to the jellyfish, a water dweller. Whereas insect-like bots ...

After all robots can decorate cakes, play the piano, and even design and build other robots ... Granted, I don’t think flying bots will be building our cities anytime in the near future ...

But replicating that multimodal approach on a robot? That quickly becomes a battle between size, weight, and gravity. Most flying spiders are just millimeters long. Instead, making a flying spider ...

An automated cleaning system consisting of hundreds of flying mini-robots has been awarded first place in the 2013 Electrolux Design Lab competition. The winning concept, known as 'Mab', is an ...

Kim and his team adapted the design from a previous flying robot, but they made the joints more resilient by having them connect across a larger part of the robot than at just a single failure point.

Scientists at the University of Washington have developed flying robots that change shape in ... The origami-inspired design allows them to transform quickly from an unfolded to a folded state ...
