US engineers’ new wing design helps small robots fly longer by gliding like grasshoppers
Grasshopper’s gangly, awkward flight could solve the biggest power problems in robotics. Standard micro-bots are modeled ...
Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.
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) ...
A jumping spider considers a set of 3D printed insects, which include a fly (top right), a wasp (next to the spider) and a series of intermediate mimics generated by 3D morphing. A praying mantis ...
