Pollinators carry pollen with them as they move from flower to flower. Their pollination services are essential for plants, including the ones we like to eat. Although honeybees get most of the credit ...

Researchers at MIT have created a group of robotic insects that they hope to be able to use as a swarm of pollinators in the ...

American scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a new type of robotic insect that can ...

The idea of robots as pollen carriers is not entirely new. The robots reportedly developed earlier were not durable and ...

They tend to pollinate different types of flowers than bees. However, their offspring need animal protein and so are fed with smaller insects. So without wasps, there would be many more insect ...

Advancements in agriculture are now entering uncharted territory, propelled by significant breakthroughs in robotics. At the pinnacle of this pursuit, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) ...

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

The cowslip (Primula veris) is considered a model species for studying insect-pollinated plants ... making self-pollination difficult. In S-morph flowers, the style is short, the anthers are ...

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 ...
