Small robot swarms - it's not sci-fi

Are you being horrified by the perspective of an attack of non-human flying robots? The news about their activity are getting more and more often and drones can be seen not only in such an egzotic countries for us as Pakistan, Afganistan or Somalia. Their effectiveness and low costs had convinced police services (i.e. USA and UK) and European institutions.

Until now drones still remained relatively large devices rarely operating in large groups. This can change with the project created in the Pensilvania Uniwersity laboratories.

Its scientists had managed to create whole group of small robocopters operating as a swarm of insects.What can such devices be used for? Just imagine you are being chased or even attacked by these machines. Armed in a proper way they can be very dangerous.
