Why are NASA and CIA scientists making robot insects? They’re small, they’re mighty, and they might just save your life!

Robotic insects modeled after bees are set to revolutionize pollination, boosting crop yields and transforming agriculture.

To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical ...

Imagine a world where tiny robotic insects could help farmers grow fruits and vegetables more efficiently. Researchers at MIT ...

Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect for artificial pollination to underpin an entirely indoor farm ...

An insect-inspired robot that only weighs as much as a raisin can perform acrobatics and fly for much longer than any previous insect-sized drone without falling apart. For tiny flying robots to ...

To help make this idea a reality, MIT researchers are developing robotic insects that could someday swarm out of mechanical hives to rapidly perform precise pollination. However, even the best bug ...

The robots mimic the anatomy and flight mechanics of bees to achieve greater efficiency and precision.

With transmission and hinge designs that reduced off-axis torsional stress and deformation, the robot achieved a 1000-second hovering flight, two orders of magnitude longer than existing subgram MAVs.
