Scientist Design Robo-Bees Which help in Pollination and Find Disaster Victim

In the coming days, gardeners can hear the whirr sound of robots among the buzz sound of bees in their garden.

Researchers from Japan said they've taken the initial steps toward building robots that could help to pick up the slack from insect pollinators. The scientists developed a sticky gel that lets approximately $100 matchbox-size drone pick up the pollen from one flower and deposit it to another flower that helps in the plants reproduction.

How Robo-Bees or Autonomous Flying Micro robots Pollinate an Orchard?

•  Firstly it establish the home base:

The farmer sets up a mobile robo-bee hive. In future, the autonomous micro robot could drag the hive                   from field to field.

•  Next step is to survey the landscape:

  To survey the landscape scout robot bees leave their hive first and use the UV sensors to detect the         matching UV patterns on the flower petals which real bees look for. The cameras on the robot bee                           head collect the  landmarks and it give a sense of where and how far it has been traveled.

• Now make a map:

    Scouts return to the hive to restore and then upload the flower locations or positions to a central         computer that maps the entire orchard as more scouts report in.

• At last get pollinate: 

The worker bees, provided with larger batteries for longer trips and fewer sensors, head directly for               the flowers, and it delivers pollen from one flower to another.
