One of the oldest forms of flight – the flapping wings of insects – may support a revolutionary new class of robotic flying machine uniquely suited for exploring a brave new world: the planet ...
Insect-like robots may one day swarm over the surface of Mars, helping scientists better study the planet, says Dr. K.M. Isaac, a UMR professor of aerospace engineering, who is helping to develop this ...
2001-04-06 04:00:00 PDT Boston-- Patricia Jones-Bowman believes she can fly like a dinosaur. In May, Jones-Bowman will climb behind the controls of an "ornithopter," a machine designed to carry a ...
It sounds like something on the cover of a Ray Bradbury novel. The idea of a metre-long mechanical insect flitting across the rust-red canyons of Mars can surely only belong to the pages of science ...
Anthony Colozza hopes to unleash flying robots on Mars. That may sound like the brainchild of a crazed, sci-fi film director, but the proposed bird-size robots are actually a technology designed for ...
A tiny mechanical entomopter using insect-like wing dynamics has achieved tethered flight following US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency funding of a "robotic fly" project at Harvard ...
Future insect-sized nano air vehicles (NAV) will need optimised wing flexibility to maximise thrust, say researchers at the UK's University of Bath. Degrees of wing flexibility were found to improve ...
Roving is currently the most common way that robots on Mars get from A to B, but it isn't necessarily the most practical. Here are 10 ways that robots can move around on Mars. First Stop: A Mars ...
