Researchers create first sensor package that can ride aboard bees.
Researchers at the University of Washington have created a sensor package
that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee.
Farmers can already use drones to soar over huge fields and monitor
temperature, humidity or crop health. But these machines need so much
power to fly that they can’t get very far without needing a charge.
Now, engineers at the University of Washington have created a sensing
system that is small enough to ride aboard a bumblebee. Because insects can fly on their own, the package
requires only a tiny rechargeable battery that could last for seven hours of flight and then charge while the bees
are in their hive at night.
“Drones can fly for maybe 10 or 20 minutes before they need to charge again, whereas our bees can collect
data for hours,” said senior author Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor in the UW’s Paul G. Allen School
of Computer Science & Engineering. “We showed for the first time that it’s possible to actually do all this
computation and sensing using insects in lieu of drones.”
