Insect-Sized Flying Microrobots

MIT researchers have generated a new fabrication technique to produce low-voltage, power-dense and high-endurance artificial muscle-like actuators for aerial microrobots. these muscles improve the robot’s payload extensively and allow them to hover for twenty seconds — the longest ever observed by this kind of robot. weighting less than one-fourth of a penny, its body consists of a set of four wings, each driven by a soft actuator.
