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 ...
Tiny robotic insects may soon become lifesaving tools in disaster zones. MIT researchers have unveiled an aerial microrobot that flies with unprecedented speed and agility, mirroring the gymnastic ...
Rapid declines in insect populations are leading to concerns that the pollination of important crops could soon come under threat. Tiny flying robots designed by MIT researchers could one day provide ...
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 ...
MIT engineers reveal an insect-scale flying robot that can perform rapid, agile maneuvers - matching key aspects of insect flight - by using a neural-network controller distilled from a robust control ...
Two insect-like robots, a mini-bug and a water strider may be the smallest, lightest and fastest fully functional micro-robots ever known to be created. Such miniature robots could someday be used for ...
