The researchers envision that their insect-size vehicles will be suitable for many different purposes ranging from helping in emergency situations considered too dangerous for people to enter, to covert military surveillance missions. ... »

Engineers at Harvard University have created a millionth-scale automobile differential to govern the flight of minuscule aerial robots.
