Nano Technology: Why Is MIT Making Robot Insects?

Why Is MIT Making Robot Insects? | Veritasium
What happens when you shrink robots down to the size of insects? Let’s explore the mind-bending physics behind their superpowers!

Thank you to Kevin Chen and the Soft and Micro Robotics Laboratory at MIT.
for hosting us and showcasing their incredible robots. Do check out their paper Acrobatics at Insect Scale: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/s...

We’re incredibly grateful to Mechanical Engineering at Cornell and the Harvard Microrobotics Lab for their groundbreaking work that informed much of what we’ve shared here.
Special thanks to Pakpong Chirarattananon and Cameron Aubin for their expertise and insights into mini-robot science.
