If you thought our world had enough bugs already in it considering the estimated
ratio of insects to humans is around 200 million to one, well, think again! Robotic
engineers don't think so and are busy making tiny little robots like this one that
looks like a mosquito.
This robotic insect can effortlessly infiltrate urban areas, while being controlled
from a long distance. It's equipped with a camera and a built-in microphone and
has the ability to land precisely on human skin, use its super-micron sized
needle to take DNA samples and quickly fly off again. All the person may feel is
a little discomfort like from a mosquito bite without the burning sensation.
Now There's More Reasons To Distrust Those Bugs! Enjoy! :)
The mosquito drone is hard to detect and can even inject a micro radio frequency
identification (RFID) tracking device right under your skin! The robot can also be
used to inject toxins into the enemy during battle.
UPDATE: FACT VS FICTION - The Facts...
The picture shown is not a real robot mosquito drone, but simply one such proposed
'prototype' that may become reality in the future, and perhaps they will also be
able to take photographs and DNA samples of people. But as of now, these are only
speculations, and not facts in practical.
A quote from RT America confirms the same:
"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."
The hummingbird drone, built by AeroVironment is shaped like a bird. The 'Nano Hummingbird'
drone is relatively the same size as an actual hummingbird and fits in the palm of
one's hand. It flies effortless, blending in with its surroundings.
The drone is capable of maneuvering through windows, inside buildings,
is able to fly forwards, backwards, and sideways, as well as rotate clockwise and
counterclockwise. It remarkably looks like a real hummingbird in flight.
The TechJect Dragonfly can be used for any task requiring live and mobile video
feed such as photography, security, swarm robotics, advanced gaming and spying.
These drones were designed to mimic insect flight patterns. It flies like a bird and
hovers like an insect.
The Dragonfly Drones uses high-frequency wings to hover over targets and perch
to save battery life.
