Winged robot smaller than a pea could pollinate crops

Scientists have deleoped tiny, fly-shaped, robot which may soon be used to pollinate crops and plants.

Finnish engineers explained that, with declining populations of real-world pollinators like bees, these mini droids may be used to assist in the production of our food.

The robots activate through light sources like lasers and light bulbs, which provide them with power.

Or...bees, birds and other pollinators, maybe? Restore natural processes instead of trying to reengineer and replace them?
