Harvard's RoboBee project has been at the forefront of microrobot technology for years. We've watched with interest as subsequent developments have allowed the tiny machine to fly, swim, hover, perch ...

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard ...

The flying RoboBee robot uses an electrode patch to stick to almost any surface, from glass to wood to leaves. It detaches when the power supply is switched off. As engineers and scientists ...

Researchers at Harvard’s John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have built an insect-size robot that is capable of flying and swimming. SEAS experts have successfully ...

The tiny, quarter-sized flyer is crafted of submillimeter-scale parts using a manufacturing process which took Harvard engineers more than a decade to perfect. Our team tests, rates, and reviews more ...

A tiny biomimetic robot, dubbed RoboBee, recently took wing under controlled flight for the first time. The robot is part of Harvard’s “Micro Air Vehicles” program led by principal investigator Robert ...

Researchers at the Harvard Microrobotics Lab have come up with the latest version of their astonishing RoboBee. Introducing: the RoboBee X-Wing — that's the robot's nickname. The RoboBee is a ...

The RoboBee is already a little older. It has now been upgraded with a landing gear and a flight control system that enable safe landings. The new RoboBee, a further development of the original ...

We’ve seen flying microbots that behave like insects before, but the latest RoboBee from Harvard isn't tied down to a power source. The tiny solar-powered robot offers a glimpse of what the drones of ...
