Stanford report
"Fly-catching robot developed by Stanford scientists speeds biomedical research (https://news.stanford.edu/news/2015/may/flies-robot-inspector-052515.html)"
A team of Stanford Bio-X scientists has created a robot that expands the scope of biomedical research that can be carried out with a common laboratory organism – fruit flies. The tool both speeds existing research and opens new fields of study.
