Dragon Fly Spy Robot

The Delfly II spy robot is one of many attempts to develop Micro Aerial Vehicles for surveillance mission. The bug cover is appropriated for urban environment and could also be suitable for civilian targets. The third version will be one third sized and it will also be capable of transmitting video.
