Nature has long-inspired technological design and researchers have now created flying 3D printers to build and repair buildings like bees.

A fleet of flying 3D printers has been designed to build and repair structures in-flight. The drones use building methods similar to bees and wasps and were developed by a team at the University ...

Researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying.

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 ...

The Great British Bake Off returns with animated trailer showing hosts Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding transform into bees flying to the famous tent ...

Festo's Denis Mugrauer told Direct Industry that each bee has a GPS system inside so it can work out its position within a 3D space and share details with other robot bees in the swarm.

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” ...

Teams of airborne 3D-printing drones could one day be used to complete construction projects in dangerous or hard-to-reach environments – thanks to new technologies developed by researchers led by ...

This new approach to 3D printing uses flying robots, known as drones, that use collective building methods inspired by natural builders like bees and wasps. The drones in the fleet, known collectively ...

Imperial College London and Empa researchers have created a fleet of bee-inspired flying 3D printers that build and repair structures while flying.
