So I guess this fits with the theme of recent posts on RobotNext. Only this one combines the themes of military robots and nature inspired machines. This article on spying roboflies is about tiny cameras that can be integrated with flying robots that are no larger than an insect. Of course, there are many other possible applications for this miniature camera. One of the uses could be for robotic spacecraft where size and weight are critical. Another area where these devices could make an impact is in small observatories for use in border security. It is thought that the robots or machines with these cameras would be cheap enough to be dropped by aircraft over a large area. See the complete article by clicking on the title below.
It is light enough to be carried by these tiny surveillance drones and also uses very little power.
