BERKELEY, Calif. -- Understanding the aerodynamics that allow insects and hummingbirds to fly is the key to an invention that researchers hope will create a little buzz and a lot of flap. Biologists ...

Robotic versions of flying insects hold a lot of promise for numerous applications, but controlling their yaw axis while in flight has proven challenging. A new bee robot, however, addresses that ...

In a study published in Science Advances, researchers unveiled a 21-milligram (mg), 9.4-millimeter (mm) wingspan, magnetically powered flying robot—the smallest and lightest untethered aerial robot to ...

Small flying devices that can change how they move through the air using an origami folding technique pave the way for new battery-free designs in micro-sized flying robots, or microfliers, which can ...

TOKYO — Seiko Epson Corp. has developed a micro robot weighing just 8.9 grams that can sort of fly. The company demonstrated the robot at the 2003 International Robot Exhibition held in late November.

See, I saw that Epson had released a new model of their “World’s Lightest Micro-Flying Robot” – you know, the one that was a big deal late last year – and thought, “We’ve already talked about that.

Seiko Epson is showing off their new robo-copter—the lightest and smallest robotic helicopter to date, weighing in at just 8.9 grams [‘World’s Smallest’ is up to much debate-Ed.]. The Micro Flying ...
