Scientists have discovered a novel manner for flying drones and insects to estimate the gravity direction. Whereas drones typically use accelerometers to this end, the way in which flying insects do ...

Just like their field-dwelling counterparts, plants grown in greenhouses are preyed upon by flying insects. The Dutch-designed PATS system is designed to help, by sending tiny drones to chop those ...

Tiny drones could one day crawl through collapsed buildings to help find survivors after earthquakes. These micro-robots, inspired by insects, now show flight skills close to the real thing. In lab ...

HOMEDALE — Terravata is an Idaho-based company that uses drones for a variety of services. One of the most unusual ways the company uses drones is to release beneficial insects to manage pests.

In a nutshell: Researchers in Japan have merged robotic technology with the finely tuned senses of silk moths to create a bio-hybrid drone. By harnessing nature's expertly evolved ability to track ...

SANFORD, Michigan (WNEM) — Sections of exposed areas of what used to be Sanford Lake have been serving as a habitat for mosquitos. Since the area is hard to navigate on foot, Midland County Mosquito ...

For proper operation, drones usually use accelerometers to determine the direction of gravity. Scientists have now shown that drones can estimate the direction of gravity by combining visual detection ...

While drones typically use accelerometers to estimate the direction of gravity, the way flying insects achieve this has been shrouded in mystery until now, as they have no specific sense of ...
