The ChouChou Robotic Butterfly is just like a real butterfly, except it can live forever. Or at least until its battery runs out. You won’t even know the difference, just watch it fly. [Japan Trends] ...

Researchers have developed a new type of robot inspired by a manta ray—and it can probably swim a whole lot better than you can. It’s all a part of the burgeoning field of soft robotics, which are ...

Scientists regularly draw ideas from the natural world in a bid to improve robotic performance, and when it comes to soft robots that swim, motion in the ocean is a rich source of inspiration. The ...

Japanese researchers have built an artificial butterfly that mimics the unusual flight patterns of the swallowtail butterfly. Their tiny model is called an “ornithopter” – and we’ve got the video of ...

A study from the North Carolina State University introduces the world to the "Butterfly Bot," claiming that it is the "Fastest Swimming Soft Robot" in the existence of the robotics industry. This new ...

The project aims to build an AVR Butterfly based walking humanoid robot known as Little Brother. The AVR Butterfly is the central brain of the robot with an old CD-R and some aluminum used to ...

Inspired by the biomechanics of the manta ray, researchers have developed an energy-efficient soft robot that can swim more than four times faster than previous swimming soft robots. The robots are ...
