In case you ever missed them, these flying animal robots are real and magnificent [📹 IEEE Spectrum, FESTO]
Dutch engineers have developed a novel insect-inspired flying-wing robot, whose exceptional flight qualities can open up new drone applications.

A team of customized and specially programmed quadrocopters recently demonstrated cooperative construction and the benefit of flight, weaving in and out, tying and braiding rope to build a full-scale, load-bearing rope bridge.
If you want a robot to maneuver aggressively, it has to be small. As you scale things down, the "moment of inertia"—the resistance to angular motion—drops dramatically. Our nano-quadrotor robots are made to be as lightweight as possible: less than a fifth of a pound and palm-sized.

“「ジャイアントロボ」の両面怪獣ダブリオン。表と裏に顔がある怪獣の元祖…になるのかな？ 岩みたいな姿(洞窟の岩盤に偽装してたし)の裏にも顔があり、片方の口から油、もう片方の口から火を噴いて敵を火だるまに！…あんまり強くないけどw しかしこの着ぐるみ、 どっから入るのやらwww”
How do you define a drone? What's the difference between an RQ-9 Reaper and a quadrotor? Your pressing drone questions, answered
The world got a first glimpse of the "world's first spherical flying machine" back in June this year, but its maker, Japan's Ministry of Defense, decided it's time to showcase it publicly a few days ago in Tokyo. And as you can see in the video embedded below, their ball drone is pretty awesome. The drone can stand still in mid-air, fly vertically and horizontally through narrow spaces at up to 60km/h, and (which is very cool) keep on moving when it hits the ground or a wall. Thanks to three gyro sensors in its body, the machine can keep also flying even if it's hit by an obstacle.
