Last week I read an article about genetically modified mosquito's designed to spread the malaria vaccine and effectively kill off the babies of the mutated mosquito strains through a progenitor gene. Now I read about miniature mosquito's and can’t help but wonder what they have been designed for? With the mosquito having the ability to remove DNA or blood from an unsuspecting host leads me to believe this is the primary goal. Equipping the mosquito with video, audio, GPS and WiFi will give you all the other reconnaissance necessary to incriminate just about anyone. ExperimentalVaccines New World Order:

FEAR, FIRE, FOE!!!
Get out your Fly Swatters!
NONSENSE and Fear-mongering information.
So, the truth is fear mongering? Sometimes there is a bad guy, and they are coming at you with ill intent. My god, are you saying tiny robots that can fly and monitor you or inject you with a virus are not real? Why are you even on the internet if everything is a fake? Or is it that if it makes you uncomfortable you must ridicule the poster? God, I love reality therapy and pray that one day you might experience it.

Now, that's FUNNY! Wow, and we can't provide healthcare. Dear god, we are messed up!
Wow the stuff they come up with to waste money on trying to monitor us! Who gets paid to think up these things??

The Monolithic Bee (or Mobee) pops up within an assembly scaffold, which performs more than 20 origami folds.
Swarms of tiny robotic bees may be soon springing to life from finely machined sheets of material in a newly designed manufacturing process that combines popup book simplicity with intricate high-tech origami.
The process brings precision control and speed to a previously painstaking process for fat fingered engineers and opens the door to mass production of all kinds of insect-sized robots and other tiny electromechanical devices.
The manufacturing technique stems from the Robobees project at Harvard University (http://robobees.seas.harvard.edu/), where electrical engineers are developing swarms of miniature flying robots to do everything from pollinate crops to spy on enemies.
One of the challenges the engineers faced was the time-consuming task of creating a swarm one Monolithic Bee (Mobee) at a time. The error-prone process involved gluing together intricate parts by hand while looking through a microscope.
"Until recently, the manual assembly process was the state of the art in this field," Pratheev Sreetharan, a graduate student working on the project, said in a news release (http://www.seas.harvard.edu/news-events/press-releases/pop-up-flying-robots).
He and his colleagues have overcome this with a layering and folding technique that takes human hands out of the actual assembly.
They start with 18 layers of carbon fiber, a plastic film called Kapton, titanium, brass, ceramic, and adhesive sheets that each have a unique laser-cut design. The layers are stacked and aligned using pins and laminated together.
The design incorporates the Mobee layers into an assembly scaffold that uses a system of 137 hinges and folding joints to assemble the insect into a 3-D shape in a single, popup-book-like movement.
Once up, the entire device is dipped in a liquid metal solder that selectively bonds to brass pads, locking the bee together and allowing its removal from the quarter coin-sized assembly scaffold. Once removed, connection to an external power source allows Mobee's wings to flap.
While the technique removes humans and their fat fingers from the assembly process, nimble minds are still required to figure out how all the layers will fit together and fold.
The research team thinks their assembly technique is widely applicable to the fabrication of electromechanical devices with functional parts measured in micrometers and is hoping to commercialize it.
The fabrication technique will be described in the March issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering (http://iopscience.iop.org/0960-1317).

Production method inspired by children's pop-up books enables rapid fabrication of tiny, complex devices
CONTACT: Caroline Perry (cperry@seas.harvard.edu), (617) 496-1351
Cambridge, Mass. - February 15, 2012 - A new technique inspired by elegant pop-up books and origami will soon allow clones of robotic insects to be mass-produced by the sheet.
Devised by engineers at Harvard, the ingenious layering and folding process enables the rapid fabrication of not just microrobots, but a broad range of electromechanical devices.
In prototypes, 18 layers of carbon fiber, Kapton (a plastic film), titanium, brass, ceramic, and adhesive sheets have been laminated together in a complex, laser-cut design. The structure incorporates flexible hinges that allow the three-dimensional product—just 2.4 millimeters tall—to assemble in one movement, like a pop-up book.

The entire product is approximately the size of a U.S. quarter, and dozens of these microrobots could be fabricated in parallel on a single sheet.
"This takes what is a craft, an artisanal process, and transforms it for automated mass production," says Pratheev Sreetharan (A.B. '06, S.M. '10), who co-developed the technique with J. Peter Whitney. Both are doctoral candidates at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS).
Sreetharan, Whitney, and their colleagues in the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory (http://micro.seas.harvard.edu/) at SEAS have been working for years to build bio-inspired, bee-sized robots that can fly and behave autonomously as a colony. Appropriate materials, hardware, control systems, and fabrication techniques did not exist prior to the RoboBees (http://robobees.seas.harvard.edu/) project, so each must be invented, developed, and integrated by a diverse team of researchers.
Less than a year ago, the group was using a painstaking and error-prone method to fold, align, and secure each of the minuscule parts and joints.
"You'd take a very fine tungsten wire and dip it in a little bit of superglue," explains Sreetharan. "Then, with that tiny ball of glue, you'd go in under a microscope like an arthroscopic surgeon and try to stick it in the right place."
"Until recently, the manual assembly process wasthe state of the art in this field," Sreetharan adds.
By the numbers
Folding joints: 22
Assembly scaffold folding joints: 115
Total device folding joints: 137
Number of brass pads for "glue" points: 52
Total number of "glue" points: 24
Mass: 90 mg
By mass, one U.S. quarter = 63 Harvard Monolithic Bees
The same result can now be achieved—without human error—through locking mechanisms and dip soldering. The new process also enables the use of cured carbon fiber, which is rigid and easy to align, rather than uncured carbon fiber, which Sreetharan compares to "wet tissue paper."
"Our new techniques allow us to use any material including polymers, metals, ceramics, and composites," says principal investigator Rob Wood, an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at SEAS and a Core Faculty Member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering at Harvard (http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpage/about-us).
"The ability to incorporate any type and number of material layers, along with integrated electronics, means that we can generate full systems in any three-dimensional shape," Wood says. "We've also demonstrated that we can create self-assembling devices by including pre-stressed materials."
The implications of this novel fabrication strategy go far beyond these micro-air vehicles. The same mass-production technique could be used for high-power switching, optical systems, and other tightly integrated electromechanical devices that have parts on the scale of micrometers to centimeters.
Moreover, the layering process builds on the manufacturing process currently used to make printed circuit boards, which means that the tools for creating large sheets of pop-up devices are common and abundant. It also means that the integration of electrical components is a natural extension of the fabrication process—particularly important for the size- and weight-constrained RoboBees project.
"In a larger device, you can take a robot leg, for example, open it up, and just bolt in circuit boards. We're so small that we don't get to do that. I can't put a structural mechanism in here and have it serve no electrical function."
Pointing to the carbon-fiber box truss that constitutes the pop-up bee's body frame, Sreetharan says, "Now, I can put chips all over that. I can build in sensors and control actuators."

A small portion of the CAD design for the Harvard Monolithic Bee illustrates the complexity of folds and joints necessary for its assembly. Using the old, manual process, every one of those parts would have to be cut, folded, assembled, and glued by hand. The bottom image illustrates the 18 layers of laser-cut materials that create the pop-up structure. Images courtesy of Pratheev Sreetharan.
Essentially, tiny robots can now be built by slightly bigger robots. Designing how all of the layers will fit together and fold, however, is still a very human task, requiring creativity and expertise. Standard computer-aided design (CAD) tools, typically intended for either flat, layered circuit boards or 3D objects, do not yet support devices that combine both.
Once the design is complete, though, fabrication can be fully automated, with accuracy and precision limited only by the machining tools and materials.
"The alignment is now better than we can currently measure," says Sreetharan. "I've verified it to better than 5 microns everywhere, and we've gone from a 15% yield to—well, I don't think I've ever had a failure."
The full fabrication process will be described in the March issue of the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering (http://iopscience.iop.org/0960-1317). Co-authors and collaborators, beside Whitney, Sreetharan, and Wood, include Kevin Ma, a graduate student at SEAS; and Marc Strauss, a research assistant in Wood's lab.
The Harvard Office of Technology Development (http://www.otd.harvard.edu/) is now developing a strategy to commercialize this technology. As part of this effort, they have filed patent applications on this work and are engaging with entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and companies to identify disruptive applications in a range of industries.
The work was supported by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory, the National Science Foundation (through the Expeditions in Computing program), and the Wyss Institute.

The fear-promotion factor is a major selling point, IMHO. To freak out weak consumers, who shop til they drop. Plus, to get the start up funding. Just how effective these units would be to shut down avalonians is another question. Enough units to sting riot crowds would cost way more than tear gas or noise cannons. Has our planet reached that point where the archons or whoever are going to mass-inject us with what? With ODD vaccines? You gotta look that up. Deliver mood drug-vaccines with hi-tech micro-ufo devices? I still have to wonder, why would they bother with bulkier devices? Just have the local terrorizer units give out the jabs, like with dart guns, (much easier). 'Terrorize' vulnerable minds, like people stuck on commercial cable stations? Or anyone walking along the sidewalk, to vote for politicians.
Besides that: Is this type of tech the most efficient to achieve those 'controller' ends? Wouldn't the microwave industry and the HAARP industries also have hot-new, competitive tech waiting in the wings? Less material involved, more energy-centric, more cost efficient? More profits for the middle men, lobbyists, politicians, etc...??
Last but not least, what if one of these competitors falsely claimed the success of another competitor? Ahhhh... Will competitors fight it out amongst themselves? Ha, vaccinate the opposing CEOs?
^__^
In the 1990s, with 3d design CAD developing for the architectural world... I thought 'great', maybe i can get some interesting building work. Due to my innovative concrete techniques. Ha ha. I didn't mind humor. So i started blogging about using an ancient technique called camera-lucida. Except use it for 3D.

Do we have the technical ability to create these things? Yes, and I know this through my experience as an engineer through decades of design work. However... all it would take is one large thunder storm, tornado, or some really strong wind gusts to smash these things into obliteration, never mind a fly swatter. And then we can talk about rain, hail, etc.
The bigger question is, how do you go about controlling these things? Are they autonomous? How are they powered? What is their range? Do they have the lift capability to not only lift themselves, but also the circuitry, power source, camera, and aiming devices, and the radio equipment to allow their controllers to fly them to their target? Also, how many of these things are they planning to make? I would suspect that even if you could get one person to control even two of these devices at one time, it would be a real challenge to maintain even a semblance of control, particularly if there's any real weather involved.
Personally, I know if I see Any mosquitoes in my home, they're Dead and Gone.
I'm highly skeptical of any technology, particularly one that must deal with any natural environmental factors. Nature has a way of terminating many of humankind's fanciful ideas in rather quick short order. So, yes, I place this information in the fear-mongering 'potential technology to harm you' category. I see it more as mind control, rather than any real threat.
You are more than welcome to live in your fear-based world, cowering in your homes, and cars, fearful of any and all potential threats from your 'gov't', or others. Are you sure you wish to teach your children all about this stuff? I know the gov't wants you to - that's a sure-fire way of making sure that the future generations cower to their rulers.

The mosquito is a mini-sculpture, not a robot. That makes this thread's title sensationalist, and untrue.
There are bird-shaped, robotic, flying spy drones (one looks like a hummingbird) which is a snooping camera aloft. That is disturbingly intrusive, but not anywhere near the "collecting DNA and blood!" hype.

A government that will chem spray it's people, fluoridate us, do experiments on us without or consent will most certainly have no problem intruding on our privacy. I really am not worried about some bug collecting dna. I think anyone who goes to the hospital or lab and has blood drawn has probably supplied them a sample already, but that's just cause it's what I would do to ensure I had every tagged and it's the least likely to cause an uproar. If the government can invent some insect looking thing to spy on you it will, and more than likely has lots of cool gadgets from Q.
I am quite sure our government has lots of toys that we have very little info about. What about the weird weapon that melted a vehicle and shrunk the victims inside it? What the heck is that? What about pulsed weapons or laser weapons? Do you all really think all we have is the stuff we see on the news?

"Breitbart confronted some hippies in the parking lot of a conservative convention in Chicago. An old hippie was holding up a “Glenn Beck Lies” sign. Breitbart challenged him to name something Beck had lied. The hippie stammered because he couldn’t think of anything and said “I’m not falling for that trap!” Breitbart laughed and yelled something like “FOR YOU, THE TRUTH IS A TRAP!”" ... [but then again Glenn Beck is in denial of the FEMA CAMPS & rejected Ron Paul +The Real Tea Party Movement in 2007 later hijacking it with a.o. Sarah Palin giving speeches to 'encourage' them]
