Harvard's RoboBee will one day conduct artificial pollination and survey disaster zones, but first it has to stop crash landing.

Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology have released their designs for a robotic bee that could artificially ...

“This flying robot can be wirelessly controlled to approach and hit a designated target, mimicking the mechanism of pollination as a bee collects nectar and flies away,” said Liwei ...

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the RoboBee, it's a bee-inspired robot that flies by flapping a tiny pair of artificial-muscle-equipped wings. It has a wingspan of less than 3 cm (1.2 in ...

However, their robot bee, while cool, was starting to bum them out. They wanted to put the battery and brain on the robocritter and have it fly around without a tether. Technology just wasn’t ...
