Israel’s Bionic Hornets
In Kathleen Ann Goonan’s novel Queen City Jazz, a near future Earth has cybernetic bees that help build and rebuild society when the need arises. Buildings also build themselves with nano-technology, if I recall right. Well it’s not quite what Israel is doing, but they are building [Antara] tiny, remote controlled vehicles called RPVs (Remote Pilot-less Vehicles) about the size of a hornet. The device would by used as a miniature spy vehicle, able to track militants, take pictures, and even launch a tiny rockets. Maybe Israel should talk to the Pentagon about the latter’s robot bugs.
