According to Chinese media such as China Dotcom, the National University of Defense and Technology successfully developed a mosquito-sized bionic robot on the 19th and said that "this robot is a product of biological characteristics and cutting-edge technology.".
The world's first mosquito-sized autonomous flying robot is only 2cm long, 3cm long, and weighs less than 0.3g.
"Reducing robots to mosquito sizes is the result of multidisciplinary studies such as Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS), Materials Science, and Biomimulation, which have achieved great results in the design and manufacturing process of microchips such as sensors, power supplies, and control circuits," explained the Defense Technology University.
With its very small size, light weight, and excellent concealment, the robot is expected to be particularly suitable for special tasks such as intelligence reconnaissance.
In particular, it will be able to quietly penetrate areas that are difficult to access with conventional methods, and advance reconnaissance missions due to its difficult-to-detect characteristics, the university said.
