This probably fell out of James Bond’s cache. A tiny robots, smaller than a fingernail has been created and is being called the I-Swarm. These self contained robots run on energy from their built in solar cells, for anytime use. They are controlled by tiny infrared control signals which makes it easy for them to be tracked and kept in order.

The robot has four legs, three to hep it navigate and the fourth one is used as a sensor to find objects and other robots. The robots are also equipped with ASIC (application-specific integrated circuit) which allows the robots to be used for micromanufacturing, medical procedures, cleaning or surveillance. I’m sure James Bond won’t mind losing a few of these. After all, it is helping mankind.
