Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say a new breed of tiny flying robots that weigh less than a gram ...

MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks efficiently. The team designed their tiny, flying robots to be ...

Despite the team’s improvements, the robotic insects still cannot match the capabilities of natural pollinators. However, the researchers aim to improve the robots’ flight time and precision to enable ...

Can small insect-like robots save us? The world is witnessing an intriguing intersection of biology and robotics with the development of insect- or bee-like robots. These tiny marvels aim to ...

Yet even with these design innovations, there is still a gap between the best robotic insects and the real thing. For instance, a bee has only two wings, yet it can perform rapid and highly ...

A miniature flying robot has been developed to approach flowers like a living bee and act as a pollinator to transfer pollen. It is close in size to an insect but as agile as recreational drones ...

In a time where technology is not just an adjunct but an integral part of our daily lives, the latest advancements herald a ...

The research, published in the journal Science Robotics, offers hope to farmers who may one day grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses using insect bees to boost yields.

A biotech company from Caernarfon has expanded into the Middle East for the first time after appointing a new distributor, ...

But when it comes to endurance, speed, and agility, natural pollinators like bees are superior to even the best bug-sized robots. To address challenges in robotic insect design, researchers ...
