In scenarios such as post-disaster rescue and maintenance of large mechanical equipment, bionic robotic “insects” have great potential, and the industry has been searching for suitable efficient power systems.The research team from Beihang University has successfully achieved a new breakthrough … Read more
Introduction The potential benefits that micro robots can bring us may exceed our imagination. Micro robots are typical micro-electromechanical systems. Many countries around the world have made significant achievements in the research of micro robots. Micro robots are very small, comparable in size to dragonflies or flies, and some are even smaller, to the point … Read more
© Amira Abdel-Rahman / MIT Center for Bits and Atoms Construction is not a simple task. Take prefabricated buildings as an example; typically, components are manufactured in different facilities, transported by large machinery, and assembled in the final stages. This is a time-consuming and expensive process. However, imagine a new manufacturing method where robots play … Read more
