Tecnologias de Black Mirror que já existem na vida real

Engineers at Cornell University have developed a programming language that allows tiny robots to behave autonomously like real insects. For the study, the team used 80-milligram flying RoboBee developed by Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory and made use of neuromorphic computer chips – which can process spikes of electrical current that fire in complex combinations, similar to how neurons fire…

These Robot bees uses water as fuel to power a single use combustible rocket that lets it expose out of water. The Robobees have tiny electrolytic that converts water into oxyhydrogen. It is a highly explosive…

i relate so hard. if it's any consolation though, i adore u and hope you have a great day ♡♡♡

But other scientists have taken different avenues for dealing with the crisis, using modern technology to replace living bees with robotic ones. Researchers at Harvard University introduced the first RoboBees back in 2013. Led by engineering professor Robert Wood, the team created bee-size robots that can lift off the ground and hover midair when connected to a power supply.

The details were reported in the journal Science. Harvard graduate student and mechanical engineer Kevin Ma, who co-authored the report, noted that the team is “on the eve of the next big development” and that the robot “can now carry more weight.”

Prior to this development, it had been impossible to put all the necessary things to make a robot fly into such a minuscule structure while still keeping it lightweight enough to actually stay off the ground, but the 

Harvard researchers believe that these RoboBees could, within a decade, artificially pollinate a field of crops.
