About“muholete”, which does not yet have its own source of energy (it is delivered to him from the surface through a special ultra-light cable), but can be easily moved by air, freezes and obey commands, researchers from Harvard University, said in the journal Science. Their offspring created in the image of house flies of the order Diptera – a robot such as wings and as close as possible to the original control mechanism.
robot insect weighs 80 milligrams and is able to do 120 strokes per second versus 130 inherent in conventional fly. “Muholet”, as shown by experiments in flight spends 19 milliwatts of power. This compares with a power consumption of the same size fly.
Exploring an amazing development, scientists have understood the aerodynamic characteristics of insect flight, soon to solve the mystery of flying unusually brisk two-winged flies. As for her “electronic counterparts” from Harvard, then, according to scientists, construction of the robot can be heavier tiny cameras for navigation, engines and batteries. Such robots are primarily interested in security services believe the developers, because they can be used for reconnaissance and search operations.
