Australian researchers looked at how social insects work together to transport food, and applied those ideas to teams of ...

The new concept of the robotic bee comes from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. In a laboratory, researchers are developing a robotic bees model that could be used to pollinate plants ...

Researchers at Adelaide University have developed a new type of robotic system inspired by bees and ants that could make ...

Researchers at Durham University, in collaboration with international partners, have developed a robotic system that allows for continuous, long-term observation of honeybee colonies. The robotic ...

As bee populations dwindle globally due to a myriad of factors such as climate change, pesticide use, and habitat loss, the need for innovative solutions to sustain vital pollination processes becomes ...

EU researchers are turning to the world's top pollinator in an attempt to reverse biodiversity loss and help fruit growers. Think of wildlife tracking and what probably comes to mind are documentaries ...

Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed advanced robotic insects that could aid farming through artificial pollination. They could prove especially useful in the ...

A robotic bee that can fly fully in all directions has been developed. With four wings made out of carbon fiber and mylar as well as four light-weight actuators to control each wing, the Bee++ ...

Researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin have developed a robot that mimicks the dances of European honey bees. In this lab demonstration, a robotic arm controls the bee. Read more in "Attack of ...

Bees have been in trouble for awhile now - and that means trouble for everyone else. Scientists have been studying a worrying phenomenon called colony collapse disorder for more than a decade, after ...

Robotic versions of flying insects hold a lot of promise for numerous applications, but controlling their yaw axis while in flight has proven challenging. A new bee robot, however, addresses that ...
