A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor ...

Robots that track smells often fail when one of their sensors breaks. Now, researchers ...

Insect-scale robots can squeeze into places their larger counterparts can't, like deep into a collapsed building to search for survivors after an earthquake. However, as they move through the rubble, ...

What happens when a robot loses half its sensing power? This system keeps tracking odors showing a way to handle sensor ...

Although the concept seems like something from science fiction, science is rapidly adopting it. Researchers have started ...

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

A 301 mg soft robot jumps continuously under constant light without batteries or electronics, using snap-through buckling and self-shadowing to create an autonomous feedback loop. (Nanowerk Spotlight) ...

Sorry MIT, but you’re not the only university in Massachusetts bringing sci-fi technology to reality. Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized ...

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 ...

From infrastructure design to sustainability projects, engineering students are building real solutions while still in ...
