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 ...

We've seen RoboBees that can fly, stick to walls, and dive into water. Now, get ready for a hybrid RoboBee that can fly, dive into water, swim, propel itself back out of water, and safely land. New ...

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 ...

When the insect-sized RoboBee first took flight in 2012, its developers were unable to keep it aloft for more than a few seconds at a time. These days, the tiny drone is so adept at flying that ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a new version of the RoboBee robotic bee that it has been working on for years. The latest version of the RoboBee is able to do things that previous versions were ...

(WTVR) — An electronic creation over a decade in the making is coming to life for researchers at Harvard University. Inspired by the biology of a fly, the “Robobee” pushes the limits of miniature ...

A team of researchers plans to upgrade the miniature bee robot known as the RoboBee and equip it with an ultra-tiny laser range detector which can be used as an on-board sensor. The RoboBee was ...

In the Harvard Microrobotics Lab, on a late afternoon in August, decades of research culminated in a moment of stress as the tiny, groundbreaking Robobee made its first solo flight. Graduate student ...

The latest iteration of Harvard’s flying microbot can dive in and out of water – an incredible feat for a bee-sized robot. RoboBee was first introduced by researchers back in 2013 and last year, they ...
