New insect-scale microrobots can fly more than 100 times longer than previous versions. The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables ...

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 ...

In the future, farmers could grow fruits and vegetables in multilevel warehouses with the help of more efficient methods for ...

A recent study investigates the role of sonic vibrations in improving pollination efficiency and fruit size in tomatoes. By simulating bee-like vibrations using non-contact sonication technology, the ...

Students at MIT are designing and developing robots that weigh less than one gram, and could one day perform artificial pollination, inspections, and environmental monitoring. 10-foot-tall replica of ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future could grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses, boosting yields while mitigating some of ...
