Thankfully, researchers at MIT may have come up with a bit of a solution—robotic insect swarms that can assist in artificial pollination. These new miniature robots are designed to hover ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA have developed a new type of robotic insect that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs. These insects are ...

Inspired by the humble bee, robotics researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have designed insect-sized aerial bots with a reimagined wing system that can fly for up to 1,000 ...

Fast and agile robotic insects mimic bees, aiding crop pollination and tackling population decline and food security risks.

MIT scientists are working on robotic insects that could help with pollination. These tiny machines may one day swarm from mechanical hives and boost crop production. The new technology aims to ...

Feb 13, 2025 13:00:00 MIT develops a small drone that can fly for about 1,000 seconds while being ultra-lightweight, and may be useful for artificial pollination In recent years, drones with the ...

The capability of body deformation further enhances the reachability of these small robots in complex cluttered terrains similar to those of insects and soft arthropods. Motivated by this concept, we ...
