MIT builds swarms of tiny robotic insect drones that can fly 100 times longer than previous designs

Point me towards systems that don't have a human in the loop, particularly any that utilize fully-autonomous swarms, and I'll agree. Scary as the former are, there's a world of difference between a handful of FPV suicide drones, and a cloud of HL2-Manhack-esque things operating on face-recogniton-guided autopilot.

Looks like they hovered for 1000 seconds. It was previously stress limited such that the joints would break after just a few seconds. I think they might still be tethered for a power source, I haven't seen any of these micro flapping bots include a battery yet, and they didn't mention that they did.

Yeah I was gonna say like why are we even workshopping the name with a winner like that. Get this employee a bonus check!

And it sucks, when you think inside Star Wars, such small drones are used only in medical or expensive surveillance and military applications.
But in real life it can really be a swarm of things worse than scarabs in The Mummy.

Horizon Zero Dawn looking more eminent any day now.

There is no way these things could spread poison instead of pollen is there?
