Technology has been evolving and enhancing dramatically, new inventions and innovations take place daily providing a space to grow drastically. A few decades ago vehicles were innovated, but now Self Driving Car is an invention, From Tesla’s Cyber Truck to Automated SEO in Marketing, Science has actually improved the human standard of living.

So what next? The new and upgraded innovation is here!

Harvard roboticist Noah Jafferis, lead author of the project states that they require to force their thinking to build a system that so highly optimized. But What is RoboBee X-Wing?

RoboBee X-Wing is a flying machine that is actually half the size of a paperclip that has wings of size 2 cm and could flap its pair of wings 120 times a second.

RoboBee X-Wing operates on solar cells and has an extra pair of wings, allowing it to fly off far and long or as you say sustain flight for only half a second and constraints to fly only indoor.

Hey, Wait! RoboBee X-Wing is about the size as those of bees and fliers but weighs comparatively less which makes it the most distinctive and lightest aerial vehicle to manage the flight.

The RoboBee X-Wing is far too frail to carry a battery, which would be several times heavier than the rest of the vehicle. So for the moment, the robot’s engineers are powering RoboBee X-Wing’s components by solar power directly.

Now, going from two wings to four isn’t like going from a fly to a dragonfly, which the robot now loosely resembles. As the wings are doubled, the surface area of wings boosts its efficiency by 30 percent to compensate for the added weight of the solar cells and extra electronics where we can carry onboard power with such a limited payload capacity.”

This is where taking inspiration from nature gets really interesting. Engineers couldn’t possibly copy an insect one for one — all the muscles and neurons and structures like wings. And really, they don’t even need to, because they can reinvent animals in robotic form. Actuators substitute for muscles, solar cells substitute for an insect fueling itself with food, and so on

While RoboBee X-Wing is nowhere near matching the capabilities of a real insect, one day it could exceed them. Better actuators will make the robot faster and more nimble, and better solar cells will theoretically let the robot operate indefinitely. That would make it ideal for environmental monitoring or for flying in sensitive settings. After all, at just two inches long, it wouldn’t do too much damage if it crashed.

Plus, the small-scale engineering that went into RoboBee X-Wing could spread to other technologies. May the force be with you, little RoboBee X-Wing.

By the way, do you want to learn artificial intelligence required for such robotic innovation, So what are you waiting for?
