Wood’s nanorobotics lab—where he demonstrated the first flight of a robotic fly in 2007—and thinking “Hey, wouldn’t it be interesting if we took Rob’s insect robots and attached a brain to them?” They then began to think of the challenges associated with an entire colony and coordinating its activities. The project now has three main thrusts: brain, body, and colony. The researchers aim to build a colony of robotic bees that can be individually programmed to perform...
