  • Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the USA have developed a new type of robotic insect that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs. These insects are intended to aid with the mechanical pollination of fruits and vegetables.

The article from MSN discusses MIT's development of robotic insects, specifically focusing on their potential to revolutionize agriculture. These tiny robots, inspired by the natural flight of insects, are designed to pollinate crops more efficiently than their biological counterparts. The project aims to address the global decline in bee populations, which has been a significant concern for food security. By deploying these robotic insects, farmers could see an increase in crop yields due to more consistent and controlled pollination. The robots are equipped with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence to navigate and interact with plants, ensuring effective pollination. This technology not only promises to boost agricultural productivity but also offers a solution to the ecological challenge of diminishing pollinator populations.
