QUOTE: "Zeil notes that the wasps' homing abilities make them "smarter" than anything humans now know how to build. On that note, he says, it will be interesting to apply and explore what they've learned in flying robots."-David's comment: We still Biomimetics to learn how to do things. Nature is still smarter than we are.-Nature is not an organism. The wasp, dog, elephant and bacterium are the organisms, and yes indeed, in certain fields they are smarter than we are, just as we are smarter than they are in other fields. It's all a matter of degrees of smartness, isn't it?
