    We’ve been following DARPA’s Nano UAV program since 2009, and it’s really remarkable how it’s gone from clumsy to cool to creepy in just a year and a half. DARPA thinks so too, so they put together a little video tribute to the thing. There isn’t much in the way of new footage in this, but it’s nice to have everything in one place.

    Worried/excited about the increasingly powerful and versatile robot army we’re creating? You’re not alone. Spend some time perusing the Robocalypse tag and you’ll be more interested/terrified than ever.
