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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A tiny biomimetic robot, dubbed RoboBee, recently took wing under controlled flight for the first time. The robot is part of Harvard’s “Micro Air Vehicles” program led by principal investigator Robert ...

The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard ...

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 ...
