Creating an advanced, insect-inspired micro air vehicle (MAV) is impressive, but it’s not very practical if it can’t land properly. That’s why researchers at Harvard University have upgraded their RoboBee with long, jointed legs modeled after those of the crane fly, improving its landing ability significantly. What Is RoboBee? For those unfamiliar, the RoboBee is

Steel measuring tape is a fascinating material: it can maintain its shape when extended, yet it’s flexible enough to bend under pressure. Researchers have harnessed this unique combination of stiffness and flexibility to create an innovative new robotic gripper, ideal for handling delicate objects. The Birth of GRIP-tape Associate Professor Nick Gravish and his team
