According to CNN, a research team at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is developing a bee shaped robot with wings that can vibrate up to 400 times per second. The project is led by Kevin Chen, chief researcher at the MIT Soft Micro Robotics Laboratory, with the goal of replicating the amazing flying skills possessed by the Bumblebee.
Researchers say that this robotic bee is expected to undertake tasks such as artificial pollination in the future. In environments where real bees struggle to survive, such as indoor storage farms equipped with ultraviolet lighting, it can play an important role. The team also believes that the robot has the potential to perform similar tasks on other planets
If you want to grow crops on Mars, you probably wouldn't want to carry a large number of natural insects to complete pollination work. And that's exactly where our robots are expected to come in handy, "said Yi Hsuan Hsiao, a doctoral student involved in the project.
