Inspired by the biology of a fly, the RoboBee has submillimeter-scale anatomy and two wafer-thin wings that flap almost invisibly, 120 times per second. The tiny device not only represents the absolute cutting edge of micromanufacturing and control systems; it is an aspiration that has impelled ...
