Harvard Sensor Networks Lab

A multidisciplinary team of computer scientists, engineers, and biologists at Harvard received a $10 million National Science Foundation (NSF) Expeditions in Computing grant to fund the development of small-scale mobile robotic devices. The project, entitled RoboBees: A Convergence of Body, Brain, and Colony, will develop an artificial colony of robotic bees, capable of performing tasks such as pollination, search and rescue, and surveillance. HSNL PI Matt Welsh is involved in the project, along with 10 other researchers from Harvard and Northeastern. The project web page is here, and you can read the full press release here.
