Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, ...

Scientists in Germany are hard at work on an autonomous, pill-bug-like robot to be used to fight forest fires. It’s got legs like the little insect, and if the going gets too hot, it can retract them ...

MIT has designed a small robot with the ability to flip, jump across rough terrain, and even hop onto another robot mid-air. A key problem following disasters like earthquakes and building collapses ...

Autonomous flight at insect scale has long been a challenge in robotics. Existing microrobots can hover or move along ...

It's time now for our regular science news roundup with our friends at NPR's Short Wave podcast, Regina Barber and Rachel Carlson. Good to have you both here. RACHEL CARLSON, BYLINE: Hey, Ari. REGINA ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a flying robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee and could, someday, help with search-and ...

When it comes to having robotic surgeons slicing around inside your brain, heart or other important body organ, surgeons and patients need to know that a software or hardware glitch isn’t going to ...

Researchers have combined research with real and robotic insects to better understand how they sense forces in their limbs while walking, providing new insights into the biomechanics and neural ...

An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech be considered for rejection. Reuters, the news and media division of Thomson Reuters, is the world’s largest ...
