The Bee++, a new insect-sized robot, has the full six degrees of movement that a real insect has.
The robot is decades in the making, with robotics researchers around the world looking to develop an artificial flying insect that could someday provide new ways to pollinate plants, carry out biological research, and conduct search and rescue operations in tight environments, like a collapsed building or structure.
“It’s a mixture of robotic design and control,” Pérez-Arancibia said. “Control is highly mathematical, and you design a sort of artificial brain. Some people call it the hidden technology, but without those simple brains, nothing would work.” “If you can’t control yaw, you’re super limited,” Pérez-Arancibia said. “If you’re a bee, here is the flower, but if you can’t control the yaw, you are spinning all the time as you try to get there.”
