MIT Unveils New Robot Insect, Paving the Way Toward Rise of Robotic Pollinators
Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect for artificial pollination to underpin an entirely indoor farm of the future.
Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect designed for artificial pollination, laying the groundwork for entirely indoor farms of the future. The envisioned indoor farm would grow fruits and vegetables inside a multilevel warehouse, maximizing yield per acre while minimizing environmental impacts through a controlled, closed-loop system. Despite these advances, the team acknowledges that their robots are still far from matching the performance of real bees, which rely on a complex system of finely controlled muscles to maneuver their wings.
