The weight of the robot is one gram. Therefore, it can fly like plant seeds and settle on the ground.
Scientists from the University of Tampere have created a mini-robot FAIRY, capable of flying with the help of wind. Techexplore writes about it.
Especially for this, Hao Zeng and Jianfeng Yang developed a special nanomaterial, which consists of light-sensitive materials. Specifically, liquid crystal elastomers.
Elastomer covers the robot, forming bristles on it that react to light. This option allows you to control the bot with light or laser beams and recharge it.
The goal of creating a robot is to solve the problems of the agro-industrial complex, that is, for the artificial pollination of plants, because natural pollination is experiencing difficulties due to global warming.
Remember that earlier in Britain they developed the HB1 robot, which can move walls.
The robot humanoid says the androids aren’t planning to take over the world
