Ever tried to stamp on a pesky insect only to see it scuttle off once you raise your shoe? You may soon have the same difficulty eradicating tiny robots, because a simple machine seems to have been ...

Can a robot learn to navigate like a cockroach? To help researchers find out if a mechanical device can mimic the pesky insect's behavior, a Johns Hopkins engineering student has built a flexible, ...

Considering their relatively tiny size, cockroaches are pretty darn invincible. Having evolved as scavengers able to operate in some seriously unsanitary conditions, these natural survivors have a ...

We've all tried to kill a cockroach only to watch it scurry away at a super-fast pace. One of nature's creepiest insects, as it turns out, has inspired reseachers to create a very tiny robot that ...

UC Berkeley researchers built a cockroach-inspired robot that could help in search-and-rescue missions. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more than 1,500 products each year to help you make better ...

When they turn up in family pantries or restaurant kitchens, cockroaches are commonly despised as ugly, unhealthy pests and are quickly killed. But in the name of science, Johns Hopkins researchers ...

(Nanowerk News) Dubbed HAMR-JR, this microrobot developed by Harvard researchers is a half-scale version of the cockroach-inspired Harvard Ambulatory Microrobot or HAMR. About the size of a penny, ...

Not only do cockroaches give many people the creeps, but often when you step on one of the critters, it just keeps on scurrying. Such resilience would be a good feature for mini-robots designed to ...

One day a tiny robotic cockroach could save lives. UC Berkeley engineers driven by such a vision are ebullient this winter over DASH - a cheap, lightweight, six-legged robotic cockroach that can ...

Dubbed HAMR-JR, a new microrobot is a half-scale version of the cockroach-inspired Harvard Ambulatory Microrobot or HAMR. About the size of a penny, HAMR-JR can perform almost all of the feats of its ...

Researchers build a robot that moves more like a cockroach. When they turn up in family pantries or restaurant kitchens, cockroaches are commonly despised as ugly, unhealthy pests and are quickly ...
