Hovering Robot Flies Like an Insect

September 2nd, 2009 by Matthew Bleicher

This incredible robot can fly around much like an insect – it can hover, move quickly and more. There are no attached wires and it carries its own power supply. Its wings move at an incredible rate (frankly, it reminds me more of a hummingbird than an insect). The downside is, it can only do this for about 20 seconds.

This is intended for military application. It will explore areas that either troops cannot enter or are too dangerous to enter. Check out a video of it in action below.
