flying robot

I'm flying soon and had to ponder if I'd be up to flying with Pibot or the airline pilot I know nothing about. A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) is developing a…

Stimuli-responsive polymers, materials capable of altering their chemical and/or physical properties in response to external stimuli, have changed the game in robotics. Substances like dielectric elastomers, hydrogels (spider warning),…

EPFL researchers developed a method that allows a flapping-wing robot to land autonomously on a horizontal perch using a claw-like mechanism. The act of perching is a delicate balance of timing, high-impact forces, speed, and precision.…
