DelFly Micro Dragonfly Is Smallest Creepy Autonomous Spybot Yet
9:20AM John Mahoney | We told you the tiny DelFly II robotic dragonfly spy cam was just the beginning, and we were right. The same Dutch roboticist is now unveiling the DelFly Micro–with a wingspan of just 10cm and a weight of 3.07 grams, it’s the first to be smaller than an actual real-life dragonfly. Granted, the dragonfly being used for comparison is Borneo’s Tetracanthagyna plagiata, which has a frankly horrifying 20cm wingspan–the largest in the world, no less. But still, now you’re even less likely to realise those annoying bugs whizzing around during your protest march are actually just autonomous insectoid ornithopters keeping an eye on you–nothing to worry about. See it take to the air, complete with live eye-in-the-sky video feed, below. More »

RC-12 Mini Camera is Tiny, Works Underwater, Wireless to 30 Meters
10:00AM Adrian Covert | The RC-12 Mini Camera is essentially a 1.2 GHz wireless camera with a 30 metre range, a 2.7 MP CMOS sensor and waterproof housing. It looks about as big as a lego brick and can shoot 45 minutes of video on a single charge. This camera isn’t anything I have any practical use for, but it’s the type of gadget I would find a non-practical use for (and no, I won’t drop some lame girls’ locker room reference here — wait…shit). I’d probably have this thing express shipped to my doorstep if it didn’t cost US$270. That hurts. [Killian Nakamura via Ubergizmo via Oh Gizmo!] More »
