Scientists have created a flying robot inspired by how a rhinoceros beetle flaps its wings to take off. The concept is based on how some birds, bats, and other insects tuck their wings against their ...

Motiv Space Systems and PickNik Robotics Collaborate on Software for NASA’s Fly Foundational Robotics (FFR) Mission ...

Flying robots have some big advantages over their ground-going counterparts, but they're definitely not very energy-efficient. An experimental new bot addresses that tradeoff by using a wing-assisted ...

Tiny flying robots have always faced a brutal trade-off between agility and battery life, burning through power just to stay aloft. A new wing architecture inspired by grasshoppers promises to ease ...

Serve robots enable pick-up in dense urban areas, as Wing drones expand Serve delivery radius Robot-to-drone solution will enable fast, affordable restaurant delivery over 6 mile radius In the coming ...

A new joint venture between Serve Robotics sidewalk delivery robots and Alphabet’s Wing flying drone service will do a dual test run. Both tech companies hope that flying and sidewalk drones can cover ...

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 ...

Drones and sidewalk delivery robots promise to make last-mile delivery cheaper and more efficient, but they both have their limitations. Drones have trouble touching down in dense urban areas, and ...

A teeny robot designed to replicate the wing dynamics of rhinoceros beetles could be well-suited for search-and-rescue missions, as well as spying on real insects, according to researchers at ...

PALO ALTO, California - Stanford University researchers are using the most sophisticated fly catcher in the world with the potential to speed up the rate of scientific insight into diseases like ...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, have already proved to be valuable tools for a wide range of applications, ranging from film and entertainment production to defense and ...

Applied mathematicians at New York University have fashioned a flying robot out of four carbon fiber wings that beat the air like a jellyfish. Why? Because, they wanted to create the “simplest ...
