Flying Insect-like Robot

The tiny robot measures just 20 mm in height, with a wingspan of 36 mm and a weight of just 84 mg. This poses some interesting challenges when it comes to perching. There's limited space for grippers or feet, and the robot's payload is likewise small, so significantly adding to its weight will possibly inhibit flight. Led by Moritz Alexander Graule of MIT and Robert Wood of Harvard, the team developed an adhesion pad that uses an electrostatic charge. This has allowed the robot to stick to a variety of surfaces, including glass, plywood and leaves, and take off again without issue.

How to ACTUALLY help the world

To be honest the world is beyond help at this point. No matter how much you try to make the world a better place, some idiot is going to come around and destroy all you have done. At this point I suggest to make the ones you care about feel as though the world is better when your with them. That is the only way to make the world better, actually caring.
