Dragonflies for sale



Here.


The Air Force has spent more than $1 million to help develop a
small and versatile robot dragonfly. But in a move to raise funds for the
Dragonfly, the developers are offering the public the chance to own their own
flying robot Dragonfly for $119.

“This means you can do amazing aerial photography, spy on people, secure your
house or use it as the next-gen gaming platform,” says Emanuel Jones, co-founder
of TechJect, in a promotional video for the project on the Indiegogo website.

Jones and project founder Jayant Ratti started TechJect after first developing
the Dragonfly at the Georgia Institute of Technology with a grant from the U.S.
Air Force Office of Scientific Research.

They say the current prototype weighs less than an ounce, or the weight of one
AA battery. And if you believe the project’s developers, it offers several more
practical uses than your typical “one-trick pony” aerial drone, including a
smaller frame and more powerful battery life.


Thanks to Brad.
