Insects have long been a popular source of inspiration for robots due to their simple body structure. However, a new artificial beetle from China has never come as close to the biological original as before. The replica crawler flies, moves lifelike and has a battery life of one hour.
The world of insects is a treasure trove of tiny, fully autonomous creatures with special abilities. They are extremely mobile, energy efficient, have self-healing powers and some can lift more than their own body weight. Although roboticists have made progress in copying these features in recent years, until now their creations have never matched the capabilities of real insects. A new robo-beetle from China comes surprisingly close to nature.
