Next time you swat that annoying insect that keeps buzzing around your head, it might not be the only one checking you out. Dutch scientists at the Technical University Delft are showing off their new design that has got to be the smallest unmanned drone we've seen yet. The DelFly Micro weighs in at only 3.07 grams and has a flapping wingspan of just 10 cm. This tiny guy is smaller than most dragonflies, which he closely resembles. The coolest part is that the DelFly Micro has an onboard camera that can transmit a live feed back to a computer as seen in the video below and can be controlled by human or autonomously by a separate computer. I can't imagine it would do very well in a light breeze though.
