A new breakthrough in robotic pollination could soon offer a solution to major environmental challenges faced by agriculture.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed an advanced robotic insect capable of flying 100 times longer than previous models, making it a promising candidate for mechanical pollination.

Inspired by the natural agility of bees, the bug-sized robots are more durable, faster and more precise than prior versions, weighing less than a paperclip.

The research, published in the journal Science Robotics, offers hope to farmers who may one day grow fruits and vegetables inside multilevel warehouses using insect bees to boost yields.
