Inspired by the biology of a bee, researchers at the Wyss Institute are developing RoboBees, manmade systems that could perform myriad roles in agriculture or disaster relief.

RoboBee is a tiny robot capable of partially untethered flight, developed by a research robotics team at Harvard University. The culmination of twelve years of research, RoboBee solved two …

6 days ago · 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 …

5 days ago · RoboBee was able to safely land on the second leaf (or similar uneven surfaces) over repeated trials with varying parameters. Going forward, Wood's team will seek to further …

5 days ago · "RoboBee is an excellent platform to explore the interface of biology and robotics," Hernandez said. "Seeking bioinspiration within the amazing diversity of insects offers us …

2 days ago · RoboBee gets better at landing. Landing has been problematic for the RoboBee partly because of how small and light it is. The robot weighs just a tenth of a gram and has a …

5 days ago · 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 …

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

4 days ago · The RoboBee sporting its crane-fly-inspired legs – future versions of the robot may find use in search and rescue operations, or the pollination of crop plants Harvard John A. …

Jun 26, 2019 · At the core of the RoboBee is a flapping-wing system made of a composite material and constructed using a process known as laser machining. This process has been a …
