DARPA is like that weird kid all alone on the playground, torturing insects. All we can really do is steer clear of him and stay the hell away. The kid is always creepy and always busy. Check this out. Cornell researchers have implanted electronic probes into tobacco hornworms. This way when the worms go through the pupae and chrysalis stages, the moths can be controlled.

This scenario is part of DARPA HI-MEMS (Hybrid Insect MEMS). They expect that these zombie bugs can be used in security applications.

Researchers at Cornell University are just some of the geniuses who are responsible for our eventual extinction. In 2005 They developed a robot that can self-replicate. The machine was created from cube-shaped modules that each function independently. When combined, it creates an exact copy of itself. Each cube contains a microprocessor, a motor and electromagnets and is pre-programmed with building instructions. What you see on the video(Reproducing) was all that it could do at the time, but by now these bots are likely shape-shifting into people we know.
