Ghoti Ichthus
Pray so they do not serve alone. Ephesians 6:10-20
Interesting photo . . . hair of a woman . . .
Sounds
except I got to thinking (uh-oh):
Wonder what all the microplastics, etc. will do to the water, soil, crops, real insects, birds, food chain . . .
Wonder if they'll gum up the windmills, interfere with RADAR, etc.
Wonder what else these robots can be used to carry
Small enough to get through screens, etc.
As small as they are, and that Chinese balloon

"In the future, millions of artificial dandelion seeds carrying pollen could be dispersed freely by natural winds and then steered by light toward specific areas with trees or flowers awaiting pollination.
The genesis for such wild imagination is the recent invention of a polymer-assembly robot that flies by wind, is controlled by light, and inspired by the dandelion seeds we used to blow into the wind when we were young.
A prototype has already been developed by Tampere University’s “Light Robots” group, who use smart materials to create soft-bodied robots capable of moving themselves around via environmental stimuli rather than hard circuitry.
Light enough to be carried by the winds, the robot could be a game changer for almonds, apples, and other flowers in the face of declining pollinator populations."

To Boost Produce Pollination, Tiny ‘FAIRY Robots‘ Can be Propelled by the Wind Like Seeds
