“Essentially, it’s the same technology that automakers are using to ensure that driverless cars don’t crash into things,” says UB computer scientist Karthik Dantu. “Only we need to shrink that ...

This lab footage shows a robotic bee developed by researchers at Freie Universität Berlin as it "dances" to communicate with real bees. Read more in "Attack of the Robobees! A Mechanical Bee Tests Its ...

Near Esparto, in the beautiful Capay Valley region of central California, 1,400 young almond trees flourish in a century-old orchard overlooking the hills. Since November, they've stood in perfect ...

Bees have been in trouble for awhile now - and that means trouble for everyone else. Scientists have been studying a worrying phenomenon called colony collapse disorder for more than a decade, after ...

We've heard about robots that communicate with one another via wireless networks, in order to collaborate on tasks. Sometimes, however, such networks aren't an option. A new bee-inspired technique ...
