The Cool Down
•82% Informative
Researchers in Finland have developed small, fairy-like robots that can fly.
The tiny robots are made of stimuli-responsive polymers, which in the past have been used as building materials in soft-bodied, remotely controlled robots.
The new “Tinkerbell” robots are so porous and small (weighing just 1.2 milligrams) that they can travel by floating through the wind.
Devising artificial pollinators like these could prove vital if valuable pollinators die out across the globe.
