A small insect or a mosquito over your ear may now be much more than simply annoying. Those could easily be micro drones which now come in a swarm of bug-sized flying spies.
In an effort to create a hard-to-detect surveillance drone that will operate with little or no direct human supervision in out of the way and adverse environments, researchers are mimicking nature.
The University of Pennsylvania GRASP Lab showed off a network of 20 nano-quad rotors capable of agile flight, which could swarm and navigate in an environment with obstacles.
This is another step away from bulky heavily armed aerial vehicles or humanoid robots to a much smaller level of tiny remote-control devices. While current drones lack manoeuvrability, can’t hover and move fast enough, these new devices will be able to land precisely and fly off again at speed. One day the military hope they may prove a crucial tactical advantage in wars and could even save lives in disasters. They can also be helpful inside caves and barricaded rooms to send back real-time intelligence about the people and weapons inside.
A report in NetworkWorld online news suggests the research is based on the mechanics of insects, which potentially can be reverse-engineered to design midget machines to scout battlefields and search for victims trapped in rubble.
In an attempt to create such a device, scientists have turned to flying creatures long ago, examining their perfect conditions for flight, which have evolved over millions of years.
Zoologist Richard Bomphrey has told the British Daily Mail newspaper he has conducted research to generate new insight into how insect wings have evolved over the last 350 million years.
“By learning those lessons, our findings will make it possible to aerodynamically engineer a new breed of surveillance vehicles that, because they are as small as insects and also fly like them, completely blend into their surroundings," the newspaper quotes him as saying.
The US Department of Defense has turned its attention to miniature drones, or micro air vehicles long ago.

As early as in 2007 the US government was accused of secretly developing robotic insect spies when anti-war protesters in the US saw some flying objects similar to dragonflies or little helicopters hovering above them. No government agency has admitted to developing insect-size spy drones though some official and private organizations have admitted that they were trying.
In 2008, the US Air Force showed off bug-sized spies as "tiny as bumblebees" that would not be detected when flying into buildings to "photograph, record, and even attack insurgents and terrorists."
The same year US government's military research agency (DARPA) conducted a symposium discussing 'bugs, bots, borgs and bio-weapons.'
Around the same time the so-called Ornithopter flying machine based on Leonardo Da Vinci’s designs was unveiled and claimed they would be ready for roll out by 2015
Lockheed Martin's Intelligent Robotics Laboratories unveiled "maple-seed-like" drones called Samarai that also mimic nature. US troops could throw them like a boomerang to see real-time images of what's around the next corner.
The US is not alone in miniaturizing drones that imitate nature: France, the Netherlands and Israel are also developing similar devices.

Seriously, we need to stop. This is the end. Wiggs, weigh in on this.

Wow.

They need some sex robots.

It has seriously, seriously gone too far...where does this shit end? Its funny how exactly we are barrelling down the road to Terminator

No, not yet, when you see a war veteran who has lost an arm, and he had signed up for "experimental" surgery and comes back looking like Jax of Mortal Combat, then "it's gone too far".
-
Theres no doubt they are already working on that, im sure there is a Jax type experiment as we speak

I'm not afraid of the machines, I'm afraid of the people operating them.

But with a i Robot storyline. Already they are testing driverless cars, just like in iRobot.
The thinking is that gen Y hates driving, as it's too distractig from doing other things, like texting, facebook, etc. People would rather entertain themselves than be bothered with the task of driving.

This is fairly terrifying.

Nice in theory but really how far can it fly? Battery technology still sucks ass.

That leaf on your plant is not really a leaf, but a microphone made to mimmic a leaf. It records the temp, your body temp, time.

All you need it for is quick recon...you can put it in their car, or walk by the house/apt when they are opening the door-- like any bug.
Or it could be in your backpack, they could make little roaches or centipedes.
Some possibly with solar panels or battery regeneration capabilities (like if it lands on a hot surface it could siphon off the energy to restore it's battery's energy).

Only if the windows are open.

Ladies and gents, myself and many others have been warning you. I can only speak for the U.S. They will always justify it in the name of war but in the end, it and other forms of abomanative technologies will be used against the people.
DO YOU PEOPLE NOT SEE HOW WRONG THIS IS?!!!!!!!!!!!!
PATRIOT ACT, FAKE 911, FEMA CAMPS, UNDERGROUND BASES among a slew of other real things, if you choose not to see it or ignore signs, you deserve the fate that comes to you...
OBAMA, ROMNEY, It makes no difference...They're all the same...Corrupt two party system, corrupt government.
Take care of yourselves, your family and friends...
Stuff like this is insanity and needs to end...This is EVIL and I'm not religious.

I am in agreement Wiggins. Grab you AR. I've got mine.

simplistic thinking. Just know the government does jack shit on their own. There is a power beyond them that decides what happens.
For 10 years after 9/11 Americans were out spending every penny on flat screens, SUVs, homes they couldn't afford with the wool over their eyes while the super rich became super-duper rich and eventually toppled the system but still left with tonnes of cash.
Here's something to think about. You keep hearing how people are losing money. Just remember, money doesn't dissapear, it just changes hands. So while the common folks are "losing" their money, someone else is taking in that money. The wealth gap is huge that now you have billionaires backing Romney just for the sake of going to war with Iran so they can profit from it. That is what this world's come to.
Laws, rules etc... are to control the common people, not the elite rich.

Fuck yeah!

How will the US do against Iran if it comes to that?
-
These are way more dangerous than terminators. These meca mosqitos inject you hyper toxic substance and adios...

The one advantage they will have , that they didn't before is that they have full out full force bases setup throughout Iraq and Afgan.
Iraq has always been a precursor to invade Iran. The USA would have had to only do airstrikes in Iran but now they can control the Iraq/Iran border and invade quite easily on the ground, on the other side Israel will do 90% if the dirty work but the USA will claim it is thiers.
Sheldon Aldelson and the Koch brothers want a war in Iran, they've made this know and they are giving Romney hundreds of millions. Most of the TV ads are being paid directly by them for Romney.

put the pipe down losers, we will NEVER use this technology because all it takes is ONE enemy to reverse engineer one of these when they smack it down with a fly swatter
its no wonder you idiots still eat meat look how bad your critical thinking skills are something so obvious yet so far away from your minds
heme-iron FTW

During the Iran Iraq war the loses in Iran totaled more than 800,000, a million by some estimates. I don't think the US has the stomach for such casualties. And sooner or later they would have to put boots on the ground.

Call Linda Hamilton NOW... :-\

So would the dude who can't get that "certain" girl's number...
Think about it, this thing could inject you with anything. Could just sit behind a painting on your wall and just send feed back to whoever is watching you. Wait for the moment you go to sleep and prick you hand.
The only thing is, 'squitoes have a anti-coagulant in their saliva that keeps the blood from clotting and I wonder if they have that as well (doubt it)

If you'd pay that much just to find out if your wife/girlfriend is cheating then chances are she is.

1st thing I thought as well.
Although, I did have male friends that cheated regularly, and they were always going psycho wondering if their woman was, saw more than one of them lose good girls because they were psychotically obsessed with it, and they were always the guys that cheated. I think its a complex, they do it, so they assume their woman is doing it as well.

I think they're intended for domestic use...
