Devopled by the University of Pennsylvania and KMel Robotics, these nano quadrocopters have been around for a little while. But now, the team of researchers has worked out how to get them to fly together in intricate patterns, and even squeeze though tight spaces without hitting each other. Each of the nano 'copters is self-sensing: that means they can accurately position themselves and maintain balance through even the most complex of movements. This is not a movie. This is real life. Very, very terrifying real life.
