Cells Made to Haul Tiny Cargoes
George Whitesides and Douglas Weibel of Harvard University have attached a polystyrene bead to green algae cell and used a high/low light intensity gradient to direct the cell’s movement. They expect that cells could be harnessed to perform micro-scale mechanical work.

Bio-inspired Vision-Based Flying Robots
Thesis by Jean-Christophe Zufferey, from http://lis.epfl.ch

The Laboratory of Intelligent Systems is designing flying robots using insight from flying insects.

Is this evidence that flying insects are examples of design in biochemical systems that provide helpful guidance to Design Engineers?

Or does this give evidence that "Intelligent Systems" are a result of random events in a closed system of natural causes?
