A new study reveals that flies speed up their neural processing during rapid movement to eliminate visual lag. The discovery ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a human-first path planning system that enables mosquito-control robots to prioritize areas with high human activity, making them significantly faster and more effective at ...

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 ...

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) ...

Shape-morphing, insect-scale robots that feature an origami-inspired design and eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, powered by custom piezoelectric actuators for enhanced mechanical ...

A collaborative research group has developed a bio-inspired robotic system based on insect behavior which can locate odor sources both indoors and outdoors with consistent accuracy, even if one of its ...
