Corvallis, Ore. (UPI) Dec 30, 2009 Cockroaches are providing inspiration in the quest to build a robot capable of running effortlessly over rough terrain, scientists in Oregon said. "Cockroaches are incredible. They can run fast, turn on a dime ... and react to perturbations faster than a nerve impulse can travel," Oregon State University researcher John Schmitt said. Robots can walk, but none of them can run as w ... more 
Chiba, Japan (AFP) Dec 28, 2009Japanese researchers said Monday they had developed a "hummingbird robot" that can flutter around freely in mid-air with rapid wing movements. The robot, a similar size to a real hummingbird, is equipped with a micro motor and four wings that can flap 30 times per second, said Hiroshi Liu, the researcher at Chiba University east of Tokyo. It is controlled with an infrared sensor and can ... more
