-This project aims to begin to develop 1 cubic centimeter robots, a swarm of which can be sent to Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) for assorted sensing and measurement purposes.+This project aims to begin to develop 1 cubic centimeter robots, a swarm of which can be sent to Near-Earth Asteroids (NEAs) for assorted sensing and measurement purposes. While our MEMS microrobot actuators aren't good enough to move robots very far on Earth yet, they're more than sufficient for movement in the microgravity of an asteroid. The swarm has a number of benefits over larger monolithic space probes
  
 We have submitted a proposal to the NASA NIAC program; if accepted, we will begin work on this project in 2021. We have submitted a proposal to the NASA NIAC program; if accepted, we will begin work on this project in 2021.
