Fly Spy

A tiny microbotic fly built by researchers at Harvard University is currently on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art. The life-sized 'Flybot' reportedly has a wingspan of 1.2 inches and weighs a mere 0.002 ounces. What's more sinister is the project is funded by the US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency, who hopes to gain access to micro-miniature surveillance technologies.

I will never trust another fly again.

Nice, I have heard of this fly spy in development a while back...Good to see some pics!

Very cool. I know of a few people I'd like to use this fly on. If only I could order one. Then whenever I think to myself, "I wish I could be a fly on so-an-so's wall" I could be!
