Humans have always been fascinated by how bees fly, cockroaches crawl, and worms wiggle. Today, scientists from Harvard’s Microrobotics Lab are building tiny “insect robots” that look and move just like these critters!

Join graduate students Ben Finio and Rebecca Kramer in a family program for a close look at these amazing micro-robots, and hear how and why this lab is hard-at-work building these tiny wonders.
