A horde of flying insect robots might one day rescue you when you get lost in the forest, or track you down when you’re invading a police state. Either way, scientists are making these things. To be exact, researchers from Bristol’s Faculty of Engineering are building these things, and their findings are ‘promising.’

Excerpt:
Scientists have developed tiny flying insect robots that could be made in their billions and help save people – and the planet.
The pioneering bug-sized machines have an artificial muscle system that creates wing motion using no rotating parts or gears.
They could help in search and rescue operations, after terrorist attacks.- or maybe act as pollinators.
Typical micro flying robots have used motors, gears and other complex transmission systems to achieve the up-and-down flapping motion.
This new advance could pave the way for smaller, lighter and more effective micro flying robots.
