Seiko Epson Corp. announced Wednesday it had developed the world's lightest flying microrobot, with a weight of just 8.6 grams without its battery, or 12.3 grams with the battery installed.

The robot is 13.6 centimeters in diameter and 8.5 centimeters tall. It is powered by a lithium battery and flies and hovers using contrarotating propellers.

That will be very interesting machine.I think it could be used in surveillance operations or for reaching into tiny spaces to look for earthquake survivors.
