Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and Tampere University, #Finland, have developed a tiny robot inspired by the aerial dance of maple seeds. This technology could revolutionize real-time environmental monitoring and delivery of small samples in challenging terrains. Their novel application uses light-activated smart material to control the gliding mode of an artificial maple seed. The robot, equipped with microsensors, can achieve various gliding trajectories, outperforming natural seeds in adaptability. 🌍🔬 #Robotics #Innovation #EnvironmentalMonitoring #SearchAndRescue #Pittsburgh 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/eT7gaSqa #Technology #Science #Research #PittsburghRobotics #TampereUniversity #UniversityOfPittsburgh
