The next time you see a leaf gliding down from above, you might want to take a closer look. For all you know, what’s tumbling down could possibly be a new shape-shifting, sensor-laden platform built by researchers to carry out environmental monitoring. Developed by scientists at the University of Washington, these tiny platforms are designed […]
Researchers at the University of Washington have developed small robotic devices that can change how they move through the air by “snapping” into a folded position during their descent.When these “microfliers” are dropped from a drone, they use a Miu
Small mobile robots carrying sensors could perform tasks like catching gas leaks or tracking warehouse inventory. But moving robots demands a lot of energy, and batteries, the typical power source, limit lifetime and raise environmental concerns. Res
