Super strong insect drone can move objects 40 times its own weight
Robotics researchers from two top universities have built a microdrone capable of pulling open doors and shifting objects vastly heavier than their tiny size.
A team comprised of researchers from Stanford and the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, sought to develop a drone that was capable of ‘forceful tugging’ (not that kind of tugging you filthy person).
As is often the case with technological breakthroughs, the team took inspiration from nature and in particular, predatory wasps. Predatory wasps will often kill much larger prey. When they are not capable of flying off with their fresh kill, they plant their feet and drag it along the ground back to their home.https://www.wetalkuav.com/insect-drone-can-open-doors-40-times-its-weight/
