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.

2.0 out of 5 stars
big waste of money,
By Cecilia Brown "Mom" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Robotic Hornet: Learn How Hornets Have Inspired the Design of RobotsThen Build a Crawling Hornet with Light-Up Eyes and Flapping Wings! (Paperback)
The book was less than entertaining for my 9 year old, and she skipped right over it. The actual hornet was too easy to put together, more for my 6 year old. Plus, the mechanical part doesn't work well. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The parts inside the machine get jammed up and we have to take it apart and put it back together again to get it to work. Big waste of money.
