Several years ago, Harvard University roboticist Robert Wood made headlines when his lab constructed RoboBee, a tiny robot capable of partially untethered flight. Over the years, RoboBee has learned ...

Nature has perfected the art of landing. From delicate flies to buzzing bees, insects navigate complex aerial maneuvers and touchdown with high precision. But for human-made flying robots, especially ...

After 10 years of hard work, an engineering team working in Harvard University's Microrobotics Lab has completed the maiden flight of its tiny RoboBee flying robot. True, the little guy is still ...

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 ...
