RoboBees of Harvard U and future robo insects?

Just took the girls to Museum of Science and saw the displays on the RoboBee and Robo Cheetah. Very cool stuff. Couldn't help but wonder about down the line what's next? (In other words if RoboBees are cutting edge today what would they have in the Frontier?)<div><br /></div><div>I'm envisioning 10 mm single purpose robots printed with a 3D printer and solar cell coating to supplement a battery and deployed in small swarms. Pollinating fields where normal pollinators have suffered colony collapse or on new colonies to ensure proper crop pollination. </div><div><br /></div><div>What about robo mosquitos with a drop of poison? </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
