The RoboBee, a millimeter-wide flying robot platform from Harvard’s Wyss Institute, has been gaining improvements for years. The latest trick of this diminutive robo-creature is to dive into the water ...

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 ...

Harvard University’s RoboBee has became the lightest vehicle to ever achieve sustained untethered flight, not requiring jumping or liftoff. For nearly a decade, the little robot does look a little ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The tiny, quarter-sized flyer is crafted of submillimeter-scale parts using a manufacturing process which took Harvard engineers more than a decade to perfect. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more ...

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 ...

In the very early hours of the morning, in a Harvard robotics laboratory, an insect took flight. Half the size of a paperclip, weighing less than a tenth of a gram, it leapt a few inches, hovered for ...

The latest iteration of Harvard’s flying microbot can dive in and out of water – an incredible feat for a bee-sized robot. RoboBee was first introduced by researchers back in 2013 and last year, they ...

Usually, when you dunk a tiny flying robot in the water you end up with a tiny sinking robot. Engineers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) want to change ...

Harvard University’s RoboBee has became the lightest vehicle to ever achieve sustained untethered flight, not requiring jumping or liftoff. For nearly a decade, the little robot does look a little ...
