It’ll do okay until the Chinese or the Russky’s develop a fake frog.

Might work in an office, but in a windy environment?
I don’t think so.

How long before something like that is available for perverts to spy on people in their own homes?
And no, I'm not inquiring.

Researchers, led by Professor Robert Wood, spent seven years on the project with the backing of the US military. Unless it can see the Muzzies planting bombs in the night, it sounds like another $100 million tax dollars wasted.

All they told us is that it flies. How does it gather data? Does it record or transmit? Flight time?
Or is it, “Sorry, classified.” If so, then they shouldn’t even mention it at all. Or is it fake?

So that proverbial ‘I’d like to have been a fly on the wall...” can really happen?

But while the two-winged device can now take to the air using the same motions as a real fly, the team has yet to work out how to control it in flight.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Details, Details, Details. Can’t control it in flight. Sounds like a contemporary teenager.

A video of his “fly” is a available on Engadget.com
From what I saw, the power supply was from two thin needles, as long as the “fly” can fly. They have not yet developed a self-contained energy supply to sustain its flight higher than the length of those wires.
