Bee populations worldwide are in decline, but the researchers say their work is not to create robotic substitutes for bees, but to better understand pollination and the diversity of bee species. "In ...

MIT scientists are developing robotic insects that can help with pollination, potentially boosting crop production without ...

MIT scientists are designing robotic insects that could one day swarm out of mechanical hives and perform pollination at a rapid pace — ensuring fruits and vegetables are grown at an unprecedented ...

In the ‘Black Mirror’ episode Hated in the Nation, robotic bees are created to replace declining bee populations. However, a sinister twist unfolds as the bees are hacked and weaponised ...

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 ...
