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 ...

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 ...

When Robert Wood came to Harvard University 17 years ago, he wanted to design an insect-sized robot that could fly. You might wonder why anyone would ever need such a thing, but the engineering ...

Meet the smallest flying robot ever made: RoboBee. Weighing about as much as a quarter of a paperclip and able to fit on the tip of your finger, the tiny flying machine represented the massive efforts ...

Harvard's RoboBee will one day conduct artificial pollination and survey disaster zones, but first it has to stop crash landing. Reading time 2 minutes Imagine tiny robotic bees buzzing around fields ...

Sorry MIT, but you’re not the only university in Massachusetts bringing sci-fi technology to reality. Recently, researchers from Harvard’s microrobotics lab showed off the world’s first insect-sized ...

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 ...
