If we could make a tiny robot with 1/100th the dexterity and elegance of motion of an ant it would change the world.

They are remarkable and nothing we've made comes close at all. I can't stress this enough... all those little flying robots and tiny motors are clunky and clumsy when compared to any random ant.

Robotics is hard and we have not made as much progress as some would pretend.
