The robot reaches 35 cm/s, performs flips, and traces paths like “M-I-T,” highlighting control and endurance advances.

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 agriculture's ...

The new bots, also significantly faster and more agile, could someday be used to pollinate fruits and vegetables. With a more efficient method for artificial pollination, farmers in the future ...

Bio-based applications and methods aimed at alleviating yield losses of plants under biotic and abiotic stress have important alternatives to chemical fertilizers. Developing bio-based strategies for ...

MIT researchers are designing robotic insects capable of swarming from mechanical hives to handle precise pollination tasks efficiently. The team designed their tiny, flying robots to be ...

Advertisement "With the improved lifespan and precision of this robot, we are getting closer to some very exciting applications, like assisted pollination." The move to vertical farming Simulating ...

A 'biological universe' exists in a gram of soil. Find out how the soil biota within this tiny universe transform energy, create and modify their habitat, influence soil health, and aid in the ...

Ecological networks are commonly applied to depict general patterns of biotic interactions, which provide tools to understand the mechanism of community assembly. Commensal interactions between ...

and biotic (competition, herbivory) factors. The special problems experienced by plants, as sessile organisms, will be a main focus in our discussion of life history evolution (pollination, defence, ...

Many restoration projects aim to establish ecosystems composed of a native species; other projects attempt to restore, improve, or create particular ecosystem functions, such as pollination or ...

Move over bees, MIT researchers have developed a robot insect designed for artificial pollination, laying the groundwork for entirely indoor farms of the future. The robot’s lifelike flapping wings ...

The embedded 46 work placement on this degree programme provides students with the opportunity to utilise the practical, transferable and professional skills gained during the teaching of their degree ...
