Researchers have developed an autonomous navigation system for small, lightweight drones, inspired by insects. A team from TU Delft was inspired by biological discoveries about how ants use their ability to see their environment and calculate their steps to navigate safely back home. According to engineers, this method allows robots to travel long distances and … Read more

Credit: Joonho Lee Fast-moving autonomous mobile robots can help deliver goods to different locations, addressing disruptions in product supply chains. Nevertheless, wheeled or legged robots alone may not be sufficient to carry out deliveries both efficiently and independently. Researchers at ETH Zurich’s Robotic Systems Lab recently introduced a new robot design that combines the capabilities … Read more
