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 ...

To turn this vision into reality, researchers at MIT are working on robotic insects that might one day emerge from mechanical hives to perform precise pollination tasks on a large scale.

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid farming through artificial pollination. They could prove especially useful in ...

Sean Humbert is unlocking the biological secrets of the common housefly to make major advances in robotics and uncrewed ...

Insects pause intermittently during the odor-tracking process to improve search precision. However, robotic odor-search models lack such pauses in their operation which may impact their range of ...

[MusaW]’s 3D Printed Quadruped Robot, on the other hand, moves in rapid motions that manage to look sharp and insect-like instead of unstable. Based on an earlier design he made for a 3D ...

They’ve figured out how to turn a dead spider into a useful robotic gripper. Scientists and engineers have long held reverence for the achievements of the natural world. Tiny insects are capable ...

Microscopic electromechanical devices inspired by the structure of insect muscles are transforming tiny robots, improving their power, precision, flexibility and size. Miniature robots range from ...

MIT researchers have developed highly agile robotic insects that could transform artificial pollination, enabling fruit and vegetable farming inside multilevel warehouses. Inspired by real ...

South Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) is actively pursuing the development of "biomimetic" robot systems designed to mirror the natural movements of animals and insect ...

"The amount of flight we demonstrated in this paper is probably longer than the entire amount of flight our field has been able to accumulate with these robotic insects," lead author Kevin Chen of ...
