RoboFly
The first crop surveying robotic insect takes off

Hunter's comment
Engineers of the University of Washington designed this smallest robotic insect and they succeeded in their project.
They directed an invisible laser beam at a photovoltaic cell which is attached above the robot and converts the laser light into electricity which serves as a power source for the robot operations.
Future RoboFlies can also look forward to more advanced brains and sensor systems that help the robots navigate and complete tasks on their own, Fuller said.
These drones are helpful on surveying crops growth on large farms. They are very small in size and are cheap to make

@fruidaddy i didnt know about that. Yeah, its really bad hurting animals and putting their lives in danger just for experiments.
But this hunt is not from their medical department. And u should support this one, if i'm not wrong.
Thanks for checking out

Awesome hunt @adnan556644😀
Robofly is amazing tiny robot that can help to prevent our large portion of time while surveying crops like they can detect the leakage of gases in the field and notify us. They have advantgaes over drone as they can even take survey in the narrow and tight spaces where drones cannot operate. But currently they are having a problem with the electronics to ooerate the wings. Happy hunting🙂

Big things come in small packages and for sure this is one of them. This Insect robot can survey without being seen or heard, quite a great spy gadget.

This is high tech and sophisticated innovation that will not only help farmers but the entire world. Food production has been gaining quite some attention from technological development and this is a good one for humanity.

As you said, the biggest advantage of these insects, they are cheap to make because they are so small, lol, but their size may also be disadvantage for explores, by the way I am sure Robofly will be very useful especially on farms.

Wow! Finally they manage to invent a small insect like robot to help with farming. I guess it can also be used for other purpose too, including spying on someone. They only cons they I am sure of is that it is lightweight and can be easily be blown off by a sudden strong gust of wind. Anyway, this is a really good hunt.

Impressive insect-sized flying robot, many possible applications as they can go everywhere with their independent flaps. Robofly can be valued during natural disasters to find survivors in inaccessible tight places. Thanks for sharing it @adnan556644

It's a really cool item. I've never seen such a small robot before. I'm surprised it could have technology in such a small robot. I really like it. Thank you for sharing.

This is both awesome and scary at the same time. With this little bug the potential to cause damage could increase fast. With a little modification I could see this thing being used more as a weapon.

The technology is interesting. The small size and cheapness combined with AI-style automation could provide a cost-effective solution to surveying and monitoring all kinds of live processes.
However the reliance on direct line of sight lasers seems limiting even if this is a technological advance. Eventually it is likely to replaced by self-powered drones.
The use of mechanical insects in general also worries me. There is a potential impact on biological ecosystems if birds eat mechanical insects or spend energy chasing them. Efforts to ensure such drones are readily distinguishable from real insects should be encouraged.

This indeed is a great Robot. It really gets difficult to survey the fields which are spread wide across i.e. 10+ hectares of land. Quite to impossible to survey the whole land. But now with this RoboFly and AI we can expect better yields and good profits from farming. Nice hunt mate.

RoboFly can be useful for pollination of crops as well. Use of insecticides lead to the absence of some friendly insects from the crops. This tiny robot would unleash new horizons for agriculture sector. Good Hunt!

I think I have already seen this post several times... if not the same product, then an evolution of it or the same in a more beta stage. Anyway, I would encourage everyone to find if the post you are about to do is unique or not. You will have better chances of being successful.

@forkyw this is still a prototype and it is designed by students of University of Washington. PRODUCTION IS STILL TO BE DONE. You might have seen similar product but not the same.

Before this kind of device can be seen only on some movies but now it is functioning and doing good task. it might be scary if the user lost this one, because of its size it is surely hard to find.
