Summary Draft 2

In the article, “The RoboBee Flies Solo,” Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (2019) has stated that after decades worth of research, it has successfully developed technologies to create the lightest ever vehicle to maintain sustained untethered flight.

The article states that it has developed an extremely lightweight circuit and have integrated high-efficiency solar cells to tackle the trade-off between mass and power. The additional pair of wings and more efficient transmission due to changes in actuator and transmission ratio gave the vehicle the extra lift, enabling it to run on solar power alone. It stated that the next step would be to control the RoboBee remotely.

The article then stated that these technologies could be implemented in the development of other devices and are not just limited to the Robobee.
