While many 13-year-old boys might spend their summers playing video games or attending camp, Oliver Taylor decided to build a ...

Inspired by bees, the team, led by Dr. Mirko Kovac at Imperial College London, took to the sky. Their idea weaves together 3D printing with self-organizing drones, which seamlessly build a “beehive” ...

Not unlike Dewar’s bee-printed bottle, then, augmented cousins of Chachra’s plastic-producing bees could thus 3D-print whole car bodies, kitchen counters, architectural parts, and other ...

Could a smart 3D-printed hive save the bees? Intelligent boxes are being used to track endangered colonies around the world. Eco-technologists have created an open-source project for smart beehives ...

The honey bee software starts by randomly assigning explorer bees to different parts of an image. ... The system can then render it in 3D, based on all the bees’ movements.

That's why scientists are creating a bee-inspired system, which uses flying 3D-printing drones to do the job. ... in order to compensate for any unintentional drifting on the part of the latter.

Researchers have taken bees as a model to develop a swarm of cooperative, 3D-printing drones. Under human control, these flying robots work as a team to print 3D materials for building or ...
