They used to call it RoboBee—a flying machine half the size of a paperclip that could flap its pair of wings 120 times a second. It was always tethered to a power source, limiting its freedom. Now, ...

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 learned ...

Nature has perfected the art of landing. From delicate flies to buzzing bees, insects navigate complex aerial maneuvers and touchdown with high precision. But for human-made flying robots, especially ...

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 ...

RoboBee is an insect-sized robot that Harvard University is researching and developing since 2013. According to the research team, this RoboBee is "about half the size of a paper clip and weighs one ...

We've seen RoboBees that can fly, stick to walls, and dive into water. Now, get ready for a hybrid RoboBee that can fly, dive into water, swim, propel itself back out of water, and safely land. New ...

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 ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a new version of the RoboBee robotic bee that it has been working on for years. The latest version of the RoboBee is able to do things that previous versions were ...

Remember the MIT's RoboBee? The initiative kicked off a couple of years ago, aiming to fix a major problem that we currently have: the bee population is slowly dying, and without bees, we're pretty ...

Robot bees have learned how to not only fly but also land. After more than 10 years of development, the robot bees successfully landed safely with their long legs following their flap of wings, ...
