The secret behind insects' lightning-fast reactions could offer a blueprint for more energy-efficient robots and self-driving cars, according to a new study challenging our understanding of how brains ...

Future AI systems - particularly those used in robotics, autonomous vehicles and real-time decision-making - could be ...

The way bugs and birds flap their wings may look effortless, but the dynamics that keep them aloft are dizzyingly complex and ...

Researchers at Cornell University have developed a 3D computational model that decodes the complex ...

Ants do not need a foreman to raise a city. Working with little more than local cues, they excavate tunnels, pile up soil, ...

New research decoding insect wing dynamics could enable highly stable flapping robots, improving micro-drone control, ...

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 ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Building robots that can effortlessly mimic the movements of insects on water has been a persistent challenge in robotics. The ability to move autonomously and efficiently in ...
