An agglutinate magnetic spray transforms inanimate objects into millirobots for biomedical applications.

Science robotics
Millirobots that can adapt to unstructured environments, operate in confined spaces, and interact with a diverse range of objects would be desirable for exploration and biomedical applications. The continued development of millirobots, however, requi...

Counting penguins with drones.

Science robotics
A multidrone path-planning algorithm enables drones to scout Adélie penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Multidrone aerial surveys of penguin colonies in Antarctica.

Science robotics
Speed is essential in wildlife surveys due to the dynamic movement of animals throughout their environment and potentially extreme changes in weather. In this work, we present a multirobot path-planning method for conducting aerial surveys over large...

Good vibrations for flapping-wing flyers.

Science robotics
Studies of insect flight reveal how flapping-induced vibrations augment flight stability of tailless flapping-wing flyers.

The human brain reveals resting state activity patterns that are predictive of biases in attitudes toward robots.

Science robotics
The increasing presence of robots in society necessitates a deeper understanding into what attitudes people have toward robots. People may treat robots as mechanistic artifacts or may consider them to be intentional agents. This might result in expla...

Enhancing insect flight research with a lab-on-cables.

Science robotics
A cable-driven robot that tracks flying insects at close range offers a useful method to study insects in free flight.

Biomorphic structural batteries for robotics.

Science robotics
Batteries with conformal shape and multiple functionalities could provide new degrees of freedom in the design of robotic devices. For example, the ability to provide both load bearing and energy storage can increase the payload and extend the operat...

An 88-milligram insect-scale autonomous crawling robot driven by a catalytic artificial muscle.

Science robotics
The creation of autonomous subgram microrobots capable of complex behaviors remains a grand challenge in robotics largely due to the lack of microactuators with high work densities and capable of using power sources with specific energies comparable ...

Ionic spiderwebs.

Science robotics
Spiders use adhesive, stretchable, and translucent webs to capture their prey. However, sustaining the capturing capability of these webs can be challenging because the webs inevitably invite contamination, thus reducing its adhesion force. To overco...

Wireless steerable vision for live insects and insect-scale robots.

Science robotics
Vision serves as an essential sensory input for insects but consumes substantial energy resources. The cost to support sensitive photoreceptors has led many insects to develop high visual acuity in only small retinal regions and evolve to move their ...
