Hiroshi Liu’s 10cm robot is much like a hummingbird. The robot can fly basic left, right, up & down and also do shapes like an 8. This little robot weight 2.6gms and is controlled by a IR remote control. Apparently the researchers have already sunk $2 million in developing the 4 winged mini robot accomplishing many technical challenges. Powered by a small motor this thing is said to be more stable than a helicopter.
The next phase of development would see this thing with a micro camera attached and ability to hover mid-air. But that’s happening only in 2011. This thing is expected to help in emergencies like a building collapse where it can enter small gaps and send video footage to air rescue operations or terrorist / criminal situations. The thought of the gadget powered future leaves me excited, as always
