Epson Creates Tiny Flying Robot

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the really-expensive-remote-control-helicopters dept.

xyote writes "As reported by the Inquirer. More info on Epson's website with a nice picture with explanatory labels and all. It weighs a little over 10g, uses an 'ultra-thin ultrasonic' motor and Bluetooth for remote control." Epson is using the robot to showcase their micromechatronics technology, and by exhibiting it, they hope to discover and test problems with using robots in three dimensions.

    You fail it! You must include the whole quote to receive credit for your effort. Tell us how you will get other humans to work for them and tell us which mines we will toil in.

    Sigh...no one cares about quality any more...

    It weighs a little over 10g...
    It doesn't weigh anything in grams... that's its mass. Its weight is in Newtons or pounds.
