Revealing the 'super small' robot can load heavy objects ... 40 times its weight

In the document Stanford University published in Science Robotics shows that the new micro-robots can move in the air with loads greater than 40 times their weight.

Stanford University robotics experts (USA) have developed a tiny robot capable of extremely useful in rescue missions in small spaces.

In the document Stanford University published in Science Robotics shows that the new micro-robots can move in the air with loads greater than 40 times their weight. The name of this robot is FlyCroTugs .

Not only that, on Foxnews, Stanford University experts also demonstrated the ability of robots of the same type to move much larger objects if combined smoothly like opening doors, carrying water bottles.

FlyCroTugs - a new type of robot developed by Stanford University experts is expected to support future rescue work.

According to experts, FlyCroTugs robots are integrated with a specially designed adhesive that is compatible with different surfaces inspired by the prey of the gecko and transport of corn bees. plow.

"Normally hornets can fly very quickly to a piece of food that appeals to them. However, if you determine that the piece of food is too heavy to carry to the nest, they will pull along it on the ground ," said Mark. Cutkosky, from Stanford University, said.

This is one of the inspiring factors for experts to develop a way to carry heavy objects that are larger than their body with FlyCroTugs.

With the use of the wasp move, this type of robot could be very useful in navigating in small spaces for future search and rescue missions.

Not only that, the FlyCroTugs robots also have the ability to carry water bottles or cameras to an area in need of rescue or danger to humans so that operators can assess the level of danger from a distance.

Currently, experts from Stanford University are still in the process of finalizing and studying the practical applications of this new type of robot in practice.
