摘要

仿生机器人领域的最新热门话题就是像这样的机器蜜蜂。仿生蜜蜂由位于德国内卡河畔埃斯林根的自动化技术公司费斯托生产，比真正的蜜蜂大一个数量级。要了解仿生蜜蜂的大小，可以想象一下蓝鸦或超大蜂鸟，尽管它们的翅膀是前后扇动（更接近真正蜜蜂的动作），而不是上下扇动。该公司表示，其蜂群技术将使无人机能够自主运行，同时与其他 "蜜蜂 "协调飞行路线，使用超宽带信标，其信号可让无人机跟踪自己在空间中的位置，避免空中碰撞。

Robotic Bees' Swarm Autonomy

The latest buzz in biomimetic robots is a robotic bee like this one. The BionicBee, produced by the automation-technology company Festo, based in Esslingen am Neckar, Germany, is an order of magnitude bigger than a real bee. For a sense of a BionicBee's size, imagine a bluejay or an oversized hummingbird, albeit one whose wings flap forward and back (closer to the movements of a real bee) rather than up and down. The company says its swarm technology will enable the drone to operate autonomously while it coordinates its flight path with other “bees,” using ultrawideband beacons whose signals let it keep track of its position in space and avoid midair collisions.
