description: One day, fleets of insect robots may work in all sorts of jobs, from searching for crime clues to prospecting for gold. Award-winning author Clive Gifford takes young readers on this adventure into the fascinating world of insects and how they’ve inspired scientists developing the world’s most exciting machines—robots. The world of biomimetics—the science of creating machines and materials by copying nature—is explored here. When they’re done exploring this beautifully illustrated and wonderfully informative book, kids can then build their very own robotic hornet that crawls with light-up eyes, a moving tail, and fluttering wings.
