flag MIT engineers built a bumblebee-sized flying robot with AI that outperforms drones in agility and speed, enabling use in disaster zones.

flag MIT engineers have created a bumblebee-sized microrobot that flies with comparable speed and agility, using flapping wings and an AI-powered control system. flag Weighing less than a paperclip, the robot performs complex maneuvers like 10 somersaults in 11 seconds, even in wind. flag A two-part AI framework boosts its speed by 450% and acceleration by 250%, enabling real-time responses to disturbances. flag The research, published in Science Advances, advances the potential for such robots to operate in disaster zones or dense environments where drones fail.
