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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’ve seen Harvard’s Robobee flying robot evolve for years: After first learning to fly, it learned to swim in 2015, then to jump out of the water again in 2017 — and now it has another trick up its ...

Harvard researchers are getting closer to their goal of developing a controllable micro air vehicle called the Robobee. The tiny robot was already capable of taking off under its own power, but until ...

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 ...

The RoboBee -- the insect-inspired microrobot -- has become the lightest vehicle ever to achieve sustained flight without the assistance of a power cord. After decades of work, the researchers ...

Harvard scientists have introduced what may be the cutest flying robots ever: a bio-inspired insect-sized aircraft dubbed RoboBee that pushes flight-worthy craft into their smallest wings yet. “To our ...

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 ...

In the very early hours of the morning, in a Harvard robotics laboratory, an insect took flight. Half the size of a paperclip, weighing less than a tenth of a gram, it leapt a few inches, hovered for ...
