MIT Scientists Have Created Durable, Flying Robot Insects

robot insects MIT scientists have developed tiny, flying robot insects that are more agile and durable than ever in the hopes of someday using them for pollination. These newly designed robot insects can fly for up to 15 minutes and perform acrobatic maneuvers without breaking. “The revamped robot is designed to boost flight precision and agility while minimizing the mechanical stress on its artificial wing flexures, which enables faster maneuve…

MIT built a swarm of tiny robotic flies to pollinate flowers like bees

The robots could someday be used within agricultural warehouses to conduct artificial pollination.

MIT builds tiny robotic insect drones capable of flying 100 times longer than previous designs

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new generation of tiny robotic insect drones capable of flying 100 times longer than previous designs. These advanced micro-drones, weighing less than a paperclip, can hover for approximately 1,000 seconds (nearly 17 minutes) without any degradation in flight precision. The innovative design features a […]
