Scientists strive to create a robot with honey bee brain

We recently reported that scientists were studying the behaviour of bumble bees in discerning the briefest route to the flowers with nectar. The bees were able to detect the odour from a distance and would then calculate the briefest path to all the flowers with nectars, exhibiting extra-ordinary mathematical intelligence in doing so. Apparently along similar lines, another group of scientists at University of Sheffield and University of Sussex are striving to create a robot which will be equipped with the same capabilities of sense and smell as a real honey bee.
