Robotic bees for foraging flowers



 Researchers from the University of Harvard in the United States specializing in
 miniature robotic working for several years on the development
 robotic bees that will pollinate autonomously term reign
 plant . The baptized Robobee project is taken very seriously by scientists.

 Scientists are concerned about the massive global disappearance of bees .
 The causes of this massacre are multiple.
 Intensive -The use of insecticides by farmers.
 -L'extinction Of flowering plants .
 -Of Parasites that infest hives.
 -the Air pollution .
 -The Climate change.
 If bees were to disappear completely from the surface of the earth is
 all the vegetable that is threatened with extinction, and therefore the reign
 herbivorous animal and carnivore.
 Robobee The project aims to create an army of autonomous robotic pollinators , but it could also be used
 in the field of military surveillance and exploration in hazardous environments .
 Inspired by the natural strength of bees and their hover capability with heavy loads ,
 researchers are trying to integrate these faculties to small robots no bigger than a coin. One
 greater difficulty for scientists is the development of visual sensors , similar to the eyes and
 antennas of a bee.
 But the ultimate goal of the project is to design Robobee software that will somehow the brain of the abeille-
 robot. This device will ensure , among other flight control , object detection , decision making , and especially
 the collective behavior of Robobee because bees performances are mainly based on the collaboration
 operation of all members of a hive .
 This ambitious project receives an annual budget of $ 2 million .
