What is a Robobee?
3. Slide
60 seconds
RoboBees are tiny robots that fly around and help pollinate plants. They are being developed to help plants grow faster and more efficiently. RoboBees could help save our planet by replacing the pollination done by bees.
RoboBees: Little Robots That Pollinate
4. Slide
60 seconds
Robobees are small robots designed to mimic the behavior of real bees. They are usually about the size of a paperclip and have wings that can flap to move around. Robobees are designed to help with pollination, which is when an insect transfers pollen from one flower to another to help them produce fruit and vegetables. Robobees are also used for research, like studying the effects of climate change on bees or tracking the spread of diseases in bee populations.

Robobees are being developed to pollinate plants in the absence of honeybees due to their declining population. Robobees are designed with a unique flapping-wing propulsion system that mimics the flight of real bees. Robobees are equipped with a tiny onboard computer and sensors to detect obstacles and navigate their way through the environment.
