Advances in Robotic Technology for Disaster Response
In the face of disaster situations, every second counts. Recently, scientists have developed a groundbreaking robot that may offer life-saving solutions in such urgent scenarios. Let’s delve into the details of this innovative creation.
The Ingenious Design
The new robot, described as small yet versatile, is engineered to mimic the movements of insects, allowing it to jump and fly with remarkable energy efficiency. Developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in collaboration with the University of Hong Kong, this robot features a unique combination of powerful springs and articulated wings. Weighing less than 1 gram and standing just 5 cm tall, it has redefined mobility in miniature robotic design.
