A story on NBC News reports a tiny “RoboBee” bot may soon get laser-powered vision, courtesy of UB, allowing the ultra-light robot the size of an actual insect to “see” using a super-small laser range detector.

The article quotes Karthik Dantu, assistant professor of computer science, who said “Essentially, it’s the same technology that automakers are using to ensure that driverless cars don’t crash into things.”
