Inspired by the humble bee, robotics researchers at MIT have designed insect-sized aerial bots with a reimagined wing system that can fly for up to 1,000 seconds | 100 times more than any similar bots we've seen in the past.
Insect-inspired autonomous navigation strategy for tiny, lightweight robots
New neural tech could power insect-sized intelligent flying robots | The system uses a five-layer spiking neural network with 28,800 neurons to analyze raw event-based camera data and estimate the camera’s 3D motion.
