From the first paragraph
> making a robot that’s an insect equivalent is extremely hard—so hard that it’s frequently easier to just hijack living insects themselves and put them to work for us.
- Gigachad 4y agoDoesn't seem easy to scale. If you wanted to build a factory or something with this you are going to need enough to make it worth investing in building them in a reliable and consistent way.
