The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is developing four flying "robobugs", weighing up to 10 grams each and with wingspans of up to 7.5 centimetres. One of the two companies developing the craft for DARPA - Aerovironment, based in Monrovia, California - aims to have a "rough demonstrator" flying by the middle of 2008.

Very quickly, robots the size of ants will be gathering information for various uses including serveillance and environmental monitoring. I have to wonder what possibilities exist for insect control, poison distribution and other creative activities.Tags: Robots, Darpa, Monrovia, robobugs
