I’m kind of glad this cool robo-ant can’t walk very well, because it does everything else with chilling accuracy. Unlike real insects, it isn’t size-limited by its materials and structural makeup, so you could have a king-sized one bite the roof off your house by next week if someone took initiative.

The mecha-fish we saw a few weeks ago were also slightly unnerving, but at least they’re being put to good purpose.
