The barrier? Until recently, the only landing the Harvard RoboBee had mastered was a crash landing. Harvard researchers have now armed their tiny RoboBee with four long, graceful landing ...

The RoboBee is already a little older. It has now been upgraded with a landing gear and a flight control system that enable safe landings. The new RoboBee, a further development of the original ...

Robert Wood, a professor at Harvard University, said on the 17th, "The ultra-small flying robot RoboBee has developed technology that helps it land smoothly and gracefully from the air to the ground." ...

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 ...

It was applied to Harvard’s RoboBee – a tiny flapping-wing robot. “RoboBee is an excellent platform to explore the interface of biology and robotics,” said Alyssa Hernandez, co-author.

Several years ago, Harvard University roboticist Robert Wood made headlines when his lab constructed RoboBee, a tiny robot capable of partially untethered flight. Over the years, RoboBee has ...
