Now, however, Stanford researchers have used artificial intelligence to steer a free-flying robot aboard the International ...

Tiny microrobots are learning to fly with insect-like speed and control, thanks to new AI-driven technology developed at MIT.

Autonomous free-flying robots aboard the International Space Station (ISS) frequently lose their bearings. Without gravity to distinguish up from down, even precision sensors suffer from accumulating ...

NASA and industry partners will fly and operate a commercial robotic arm in low Earth orbit through the Fly Foundational Robots mission set to launch in late 2027. This mission aims to revolutionize ...

In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a ...

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

Robots flying around in space seem more like fiction than reality, but recently NASA has been testing their free-flying robots called Smart SPHERES (Synchronized Position Hold, Engage, Reorient, ...

The ATMO (aerially transforming morphobot) robot transforms from its flying, quadrotor configuration midair as it approaches the ground. It is then able to roll away in its driving configuration.

Two autonomous robots combine walking, flying, and rolling in rescue missions that would be too risky for humans.

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