Imagine a robot that can transform between "flying drone" and "wheeled rover" configurations. It could potentially be quite useful, but only if it works in real-world conditions. The ATMO bot was ...

Scientists have created what they say is the world's smallest untethered flying robot, by taking a unique approach to its design. To minimize size and weight, they've moved the bot's power and control ...

A robot that can jump into flight like a bird could eliminate the need for runways for small fixed-winged drones. Birds use the powerful explosive force generated by their legs to leap into the air ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A team of engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, have created the world's smallest wireless flying robot that's capable of hovering, changing ...

Engineers have developed a real-life Transformer that has the 'brains' to morph in midair, allowing the drone-like robot to smoothly roll away and begin its ground operations without pause. The ...

A new insect-inspired flying robot created by engineers at the University of California, Berkeley, can hover, change trajectory and even hit small targets. The flying robot is less than 1 centimeter ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through ...
