Harvard University roboticist Robert Wood and his team have improved the landing capabilities of the RoboBee.The latest biomechanical improvements to its landing gear were based on the crane fly, allowing RoboBee to stick the landing.The ultimate goal of the RoboBee initiative is to build a swarm of interconnected tiny robots capable of sustained untethered flight.The improvements to RoboBee's landing gear aim to minimize velocity when approaching a surface and quickly dissipate impact energy.
