Researchers have developed small and agile drones that will hopefully assist in crop pollination and fly in crowded areas. Unlike previous small drone designs, Chen, main researcher, employs a soft actuator in place of the typical hard and fragile design. The drones are highly inspired by small insects that fly and can flap nearly 500 times per second. The researchers hope that their robotic model will allow other researchers to gain a deeper understanding of how bugs fly and work.
