A recently created RoboBee is now outfitted with its most reliable landing gear to date, inspired by one of nature's most graceful landers: the crane fly. The team has given their flying robot a set ...

They used to call it RoboBee—a flying machine half the size of a paperclip that could flap its pair of wings 120 times a second. It was always tethered to a power source, limiting its freedom. Now, ...

We’ve seen flying microbots that behave like insects before, but the latest RoboBee from Harvard isn't tied down to a power source. The tiny solar-powered robot offers a glimpse of what the drones of ...

With colony collapse disorder impacting bee populations around the world, robots may play a vital roll in the future of food. These micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are small enough to perform pollination ...

In a somewhat terrifying but beneficial development in drone technology, researchers at Harvard reveal the latest generation of RoboBee. Picture a drone that can fly, stick to walls, propel itself out ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a new version of the RoboBee robotic bee that it has been working on for years. The latest version of the RoboBee is able to do things that previous versions were ...

There are things that lightly move ones that are many times their own weight, organisms that have the ability to inject explosively more than 100 degrees of gas, things that move a distance more than ...

When the insect-sized RoboBee first took flight in 2012, its developers were unable to keep it aloft for more than a few seconds at a time. These days, the tiny drone is so adept at flying that ...

Researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have built an insect-size robot that is capable of flying and swimming. SEAS experts have successfully ...
