Explore the future of robotics with the beetle-inspired robot designed for precision tasks in confined spaces and hazardous ...

Engineers have designed a tiny, low-weight and cordless robot that can act independently and with ultra-high precision in all directions in some of the most extreme conditions. The robot, which the ...

Recently, researchers have begun to take advantage of this, powering small robots with liquid fuels. Just like Bending Unit 22, aka Bender Bending Rodriguez, this tiny robotic beetle runs on alcohol.

The robot, which the designers call "Holonomic Beetle 3" (or HB-3)—as they were inspired by the movements and anatomy of the ...
