HW 15: Well that's just the RoboBees knees

Tonight check out this nifty little milestone we have reached with robotics.  Coming to you from a research team based out of Harvard University, the team has been able to make an insect-sized robot that flies like a real insect would.

I found it pretty cool to read about, and I think the video is definitely worth seeing.

Start with a CBS News article reporting on the achievement.  I think that is the easiest to read, and there is an included video.

Next, I want you to check out their official website at http://robobees.seas.harvard.edu/ where they have some more specific details, and ideas of where this technology might take us.

For those of you really interested, there are a few more recent (and in-depth) articles out there including this one at Phys.org.

A lot of places to see/read about this robot.  Use the standard response to guide your homework paragraph about the RoboBees.  One more thing, in your response, I'd like  you to mention what is different about making such a small robot.

Good luck!
