Here’s google’s definition of self: a person’s essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of…

Robotics researchers unveiled an electronic housefly on Thursday, one that can hover in air, flapping its wings to steer in a first demonstration of controlled artificial-insect flight.
