In 2013, Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences started the “RoboBee” project. At the time, it was impressive enough for a drone to take off, fly, and land without issue.

Harvard University’s RoboBee has became the lightest vehicle to ever achieve sustained untethered flight, not requiring jumping or liftoff. For nearly a decade, the little robot does look a little ...

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 ...

In brief: Harvard's tiny Robobee flying machine has undergone several improvements over the years, but the latest upgrade is probably its most significant: it can now fly without being tethered to a ...

The Harvard Microrobotics Lab has announced the latest version of its insect-like RoboBee 'X-Wing' is officially the lightest vehicle to achieve sustained untethered flight. The solo flight milestone ...

When Robert Wood came to Harvard University 17 years ago, he wanted to design an insect-sized robot that could fly. You might wonder why anyone would ever need such a thing, but the engineering ...

The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land? A storied engineering achievement by the Harvard ...

Harvard’s impressive RoboBee has developed from an insect-inspired robot to a soon-to-be autonomous flying micro-drone. Robot developers have longed looked at nature for inspiration. When designing ...
