Mosquitoes live almost everywhere on Earth and are easy to rear. The team estimates that organic 3D printing nozzles made ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

Earlier versions of insect-scale robots could only fly slowly and along predictable paths. The new robot changes that dynamic ...

One of the most commonly suggested uses for tiny robots is the search for trapped survivors in disaster site rubble. The insect-inspired CLARI robot could be particularly good at doing so, as it can ...

Under a microscope, the mosquito’s proboscis looks like a tiny, precision tool. Thin, flexible, and sharp, it slips through ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to make ...

DENVER (KDVR) — A University of Colorado Boulder researcher received a grant to build something straight out of a spy movie. The United States Air Force Research Laboratory awarded CU assistant ...

Insects in nature not only possess amazing flying skills but also can attach to and climb on walls of various materials. Insects that can perform flapping-wing flight, climb on a wall, and switch ...

Explore the innovative technique of 3D necroprinting, utilizing mosquito anatomy for high-precision 3D fabrication.

Forget robot wolves and missile-deflecting satellites — those things are already becoming old news. Instead, future wars just might revolve around insect-size spy robots. A recent digest of ...

A mosquito has a very finely tuned proboscis that is excellent at slipping through your skin to suck out the blood beneath.
