Sunday, November 14, 2:00 pm – Robots From Nature: How Bugs Inspire Technology


Humans have always been fascinated by how bees fly, cockroaches crawl, and worms wiggle.  Today, scientists from Harvard’s Microrobotics Lab are building tiny insect robots that look and move just like these critters! Join graduate students Ben Finio and Rebecca Kramer in a family program for a close look at these amazing micro-robots, and hear how and why this lab is hard-at-work building these tiny wonders.  The program, which will take place Sunday, November 14 beginning at 2 pm, will be held at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, 26 Oxford Street in Cambridge, and is free with Museum admission ($9 – $6),  For more information, log on to www.hmnh.harvard.edu/family_programs/index.php.  Image below from Counter Surveillance Devices.
