Swarming robotic bees on Mars to aid in studying the planet/products/devtools/single-board-computers/b/blog/posts/swarming-robotic-bees-on-mars-to-aid-in-studying-the-planetNASA to send robotic bees to Mars in an attempt to study the planet further. The space agency has implemented this idea ahead of sending humans to our neighbor planet. The image shows a concept of how Marsbees would work.
