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 ...

A new study from Cornell University is shedding light on one of nature’s most complex feats — flight — and could open the ...

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

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

A University of Sheffield study has detailed how flies use rapid body and eye movements to boost visual processing speed, offering potential insights for AI and robotics design. Hyundai announced ...

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 ...

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 ...
