Maybe you're not crazy. Maybe that bee really
is trying to kill
kill you.Israel is using nanotechnology to try to create a robot no bigger than a hornet that would be able to chase, photograph and kill its targets, an Israeli newspaper reported on Friday.
The flying robot, nicknamed the "bionic hornet," would be able to navigate its way down narrow alleyways to target otherwise unreachable enemies such as rocket launchers, the daily Yedioth Ahronoth said.
Wow, I can't imagine this technology getting out of hand. I wonder if it can find Sarah Connor? I for one welcome our new robotic insect overlords, and as a engineer, I could be useful in helping them rounding up worker drones to toil in their underground sugar-caves.
