MIT scientists have developed tiny flying robots weighing less than a gram that could replace bees as pollinators in indoor vertical farms. A team of five researchers published a study on Jan. 15 in Science Robotics, highlighting a new design that improves flight precision, agility, and durability for insect-scale robots. Lead author Kevin Chen stated that the robots’ increased lifespan and precision bring them closer to … Continue reading Researchers develop new breed of ‘robot bees’ to pollinate future indoor farms
