Little flying robot

Unmanned aerial vehicles are becoming increasingly diversified, serving a variety of scientific, military and civilian purposes. So far, scientists have made the world's smallest flying robot.

This drone is called a robo-fly , weighing only 106mg, with wings flapping like birds thanks to the electronic muscle. It has proved useful when used in search and rescue, as it can crawl through narrow spaces between rubble. Robo-fly can also be used to monitor the environment, even pollinating crops in the future.

The power supply for robo-fly operation and control via a lightweight conductor helps it to operate nimbly without losing a flying insect. The pyramid-shaped pyramid-shaped pyramid-shaped pyramid-shaped light sensor simulates sensitive eyes called ocelli found in flies, bees and other insects. With this tethered machine, the unmanned aerial robot can see the color, and it also helps to navigate and maintain stability in the flight. Ocelli artificial is composed of four phototransitor welding on the circuit board custom.

The Daily Mail quoted Dr. Fuller as saying that in the future it is possible to further customize the integrated sensor. In the next few years robo-fly will be able to operate without wires, adding to the pollinating ability of crops that support the declining numbers of honey bees. The robo-fly itself will become a miniature machine that will further investigate the insect that has been simulated to make it.
