This little flying device might not look like much at just 1/10th of a pound. There is something very special about it though, its brain. This "nano" quadrotor flying robot can be programmed to work with hundreds of other identical autonomous flying devices to accomplish some very big tasks. They operate using just 15 watts of electricity for power and quadrotor dynamics, where each of the four rotors can function individually to direct and maneuver the device.
These autonomous flying robots were developed by students Alex Mellinger and Daniel Kushleyev under the watch of Vijay Kumar the Dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania.

Watch these cool little guys in action
