5 Tiny Bots Inspired by Nature

The video explores the innovative world of tiny robots inspired by nature. It covers various robots, including a jellyfish-inspired bot for drug delivery, a caterpillar-like robot for versatile movement, a beetle-inspired Row Beetle powered by methanol, and the flying Robo Bee. The Ant Bot, modeled after desert ants, uses polarized light for navigation. These robots not only advance robotics but also enhance our understanding of the creatures they mimic.
