"Engineers, biologists and others have spent four years developing a tiny
robot called the Micromechanical Flying Insect that - they hope - will one
day fly like a fly.
The project is among a handful aiming to engineer devices that can soar,
dart and hover on gossamer wings. The paths are different but the goal is
the same: to churn out tiny, nimble devices that can spy on enemy troops,
explore the surface of Mars or safely monitor dangerous chemical spills."
