据外媒报道，从一开始的受控飞行到学会游泳和停歇再到优雅地浮出水面，由哈佛大学打造的小型飞行机器人Robobee最近又获得了一个新的重大更新，即切断了原先拿来供能的电线。现在，研究人员只在这个小机器人上面安装了一个微型太阳能电池板。 据悉 ...

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. 自从成为第一个以昆虫为灵感的飞行机器人以来，哈佛大学著名的小蜜蜂机器人RoboBee已经实现了栖息、游泳和感知的能力。 最近，RoboBee实现了其另一个里程碑：精确控制其航向和横向运动 ...

世界上最轻的无缆飞行器，最近登上了Nature最新版封面。 RoboBee X-Wing，这个来自哈佛的微型飞行机器人，为光能供电，可携带最多6块太阳能电池板。 在三个太阳光级别的强光照直射的条件下，太阳能电池板能提供约110-120毫瓦能量，让这个微型机器人实现从起飞 ...

They used to call it RoboBee—a flying machine half the size of a paperclip that could flap its pair of wings 120 times a second. It was always tethered to a power source, limiting its freedom. Now, ...

(Nanowerk News) We’ve seen RoboBees that can fly, stick to walls, and dive into water. Now, get ready for a hybrid RoboBee that can fly, dive into water, swim, propel itself back out of water, and ...

飞行器是全人类的热爱，其中又以仿生飞行器最为有趣。 最近，一款，哦不，一只命名为RoboBee X-Wing（蜜蜂机器人）号称史上最轻的自主飞行器，登上了6月27日的Nature杂志封面。 一直以来，做出质量超轻的微型昆虫飞行器是一项工程学挑战。主要是由于质量超轻 ...

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.
