MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs
Scientists have built a new type of robotic insect that can fly 100 times longer than previous generations.
MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented level. However, in a new paper published Jan. 15 in the journal Science Robotics, the team revealed that they could craft a design with features that addressed the current limitations in mechanical pollination. The team had to ensure that the wings of an aircraft lighter than a paperclip would not only surpass past designs but even perform better than their organic counterparts to revolutionize the way produce is grown.
