Robot hummingbird developed

Robots seem to be the future, and Japanese researchers at Chiba University have come up with a robot that resembles the tiny hummingbird in many aspects, where it tips the scales at less than an ounce while flying in a figure eight without much effort. It will be controlled via an infrared sensor, and the next step of development hopes to see this robotic hummingbird hover in mid-air with a tiny camera attached to it. Already taking $2 million to develop, the end result is meant to help search for people in dangerous situations including destroyed buildings or aiding in the search for criminals. We believe those who can afford one might also make a purchase to fulfil their voyeuristic tendencies, but that is another can of worms.
