Insects have evolved remarkably efficient strategies for navigation and foraging, employing a combination of innate behaviours and learned experiences to traverse complex environments. Their ...

Have you ever wondered how insects are able to go so far beyond their home and still find their way? The answer to this question is not only relevant to biology but also to making the AI for tiny, ...

In an age of increasingly advanced robotics, one team has well and truly bucked the trend, instead finding inspiration within the pinhead-sized brain of a tiny flying insect in order to build a robot ...

An insect species that evolved 130 million years ago is the inspiration for a new research study to improve navigation systems in drones, robots, and orbiting satellites. An insect species that ...

A synthetic, insect-inspired “brain” can guide a robotic dog using much less energy and weight than conventional approaches require. The control system, built by UK start-up company Opteran ...
