The fly weighs only .002 ounces and has a wingspan of 1.18 inches. Due to light weight carbon joints, the fly's wings beat 110 times per minute and the creature mimics the exact movements of a real fly. Funded, obvi, by the generous folks at the U.S. Defense Department, the little robo-pest has myriad possible uses like surveillance and monitoring the air for chemical agents. Wood plans to install a battery and a remote controlling device to the next version.<img src="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/upload/2007/08/fly_robot_x220.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Wood's announcement may have come as a blow to the researchers at the University of California at Berkeley who had been trying to do the exact same thing for years. Perhaps a robotic bed bug might have some strategic and/or perverted real-world uses as well?<img src="http://scienceblogs.com/zooillogix/upload/2007/08/spy%20fly2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />REP ME IF YOU LIEK MY POST  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
