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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Harvard’s impressive RoboBee has developed from an insect-inspired robot to a soon-to-be autonomous flying micro-drone. Robot developers have longed looked at nature for inspiration. When designing ...

IT SMELLS, it buzzes, it even dances like a honeybee. In a field in Germany, RoboBee is making its first attempts at speaking to the insects in their own language. Now Tim Landgraf of the Free ...

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, ...

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 ...

In the past small robots like the RoboBee developed at Harvard were packed with hard parts that were fragile and could be destroyed in an impact with a wall or other robot. The scientists behind ...
