Robots helped achieve a major breakthrough in our understanding of how insect flight evolved. The study is a result of a six-year long collaboration between roboticists and biophysicists. Robots built ...

For years, giant prehistoric insects were considered proof that Earth once needed oxygen-rich air to sustain oversized life forms. A new study published in Natureis now challenging that assumption.

Some insects can flap their wings so rapidly that it’s impossible for instructions from their brains to entirely control the behaviour. Building tiny flapping robots has helped researchers shed light ...
