Mankind is decades away from taking to the skies in an Iron Man-like suit, but now that researchers at the University of Maryland have cracked the secret to building robot birds that can dive and ...

Researchers developed a novel learning-based method so robots on extraterrestrial bodies can make decisions on their own about where and how to scoop up terrain samples.

"They swim, they fly fast and know how to balance to perch, they walk and jump on the water's surface, and they can jump onto leaves which are like tiny, unstable platforms," Temel said.

Using natural language processing and AI, PIBOT can perform takeoff, landing, cruise, and taxi tasks without any modifications to the plane itself.

This small robot can fly thanks to jet engines, and may one day help in emergencies or dangerous work iRonCub is a flying robot from Italy. It uses jet engines and smart planning.

The incredible agility of the common house or fruit fly puts every drone and robot to shame, but devices inspired by them are beginning to catch up. A new four-winged flapping robot not only ...

Robot insects have to go wireless if they're going to accomplish all that large, bulky drones can't. The first to cut ties works with laser power instead.

NASA working on a 'flying, amphibious robot' to explore space NASA described the robot as "a contraption that looks like a drone encased in an elongated hamster wheel" which can roll and then ...

The problem of building these parts at a fly-sized scale was also an enormous obstacle. For example, the robot has no onboard power source — instead, it receives electricity via a thin wire ...

But this robot's equipment works a bit differently: When the tiny, eighth-of-an-inch-high robot navigates on to a heating pad – then and only then can a new exoskeleton fold itself into place ...
