According to past experiments, big-eared bats use leaves as acoustic mirrors to hunt silent insects. The theory stated that ...
A Robot Is Unraveling the Secrets of How Some Bats Bounce Sound Waves Off Leaves to Find Insect Prey
A new study from the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute used a robot to mimic common big-eared bats' echolocation skills ...
This spinning-mass principle drives several robots in development. One is a remote-controlled wheel that jumps when the internal mass rotates fast enough to lift it off the ground. Unlike spring-based ...

Spinning-mass robots that roll and swim could soon achieve insect-like flight
An orange wheel rolls across concrete and suddenly jumps, as if it decided to ...
Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...
About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...
An organic synapse array enables night vision and pattern recognition in insect robots by detecting near-infrared light and triggering real-time motor responses. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Insect-scale ...
