In lab tests, swarms of 20 cyborg cockroaches navigated complex terrain using a new algorithm mimicking human group ...

Researchers at Seoul National University, in collaboration with researchers from UC Berkeley, have constructed a tiny jumping roach robot. The mechanism, JumpRoACH, only weighs a few ounces ...

Researchers chose Madagascar hissing cockroaches for their robust locomotion capabilities. These insects, equipped with sensors and communication systems, can be directed toward specific targets ...

Assistant Professor Kaushik Jayaram has developed a robot that can just about squeeze onto the surface of a penny and weighs far less than a paperclip while still being able to carry up to 10 times ...

This robotic roach could be used to rescue survivors of emergency situations and building collapses. Produced by Rob Ludacer Follow TI: On Facebook More from Tech There's a reason cockroaches are ...

From fields of grass to cracks in the wall, there's almost nowhere you won't find cockroaches. Now, scientists have created a roach-inspired robot with a rounded shell, which was able to clamber ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of ...

The simplicity of the springtail’s jumping mechanism intrigued the researchers. “Its furcula consists of just two or three ...

Springtails, small bugs often found crawling through leaf litter and garden soil, are expert jumpers. Inspired by these hopping hexapods, roboticists have made a walking, jumping robot that pushes the ...

A research team from Osaka University and Diponegoro University, Indonesia has developed two new autonomous navigation systems for cyborg insects to better navigate unknown, complex environments. The ...

This ‘Microspine technology’ enables their T-RHex robot to climb up walls at a slightly ... No doubt we will all now want to build cockroaches that will out perform the T-RHex.
