MIT scientists have developed tiny, flying robot insects that are more agile and durable than ever in the hopes of someday using them for pollination.

While at the University of Oxford, Dr Windsor investigated how insects use visual information to control their flight. Using a virtual reality flight simulator for insects, the flight forces and head ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA have developed a new type of robotic insect that ...

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 ...

IN his interesting article, Dr. O. Sotavalta 1 discusses the estimation of the wing-stroke frequency of insects by their audible note. This method is older than he ...

Once the temps drop and snowflakes begin to fall, it’s easy to assume that insects have simply disappeared. And while many do vanish from our view, a significant number of temperate species survive ...

With all four units in place, the new robotic insect can hover for more than 1,000 seconds, which equates to almost 17 minutes, without showing any degradation of flight precision.
