Un drone sphérique pour une surveillance plus efficace

umiyuki Sato a defense researcher for the Advanced Defense Technology Centre has built a spherical spy drone that looks like something out of a futuristic film noir. It is black, round and can chase thieves and spy in windows. Yikes!

According to PhyOrg, Sato’s little black ball can fly down alleys, bounce off walls and shoot straight up in the air. It is also able to follow after a target and can look in your windows seeing all sorts of stuff you really don’t want broadcast for anyone else to see.

Unlike the drone built by the two U. S. hackers that cost between $3800 and $6200 and used an old U.S. Army Wireless Arial Surveillance Platform (WASP) drone, Sato was able to build his beach ball sized drone using a modified plastic bottle and easy to find parts. The cost for the futuristic Japanese drone was a mere 110,000 yen ($1,400).
