Flying Friends or Privacy Pests?

 
robotic insects, robot dragonflies Could you imagine that in 2020, there will be this such thing?
Fitted with cameras, sensors and microphones, robot insects are flying--climbing--crawling--jumping at the chance to assist humans in search, rescue and other hazardous operations.
Robotic insects could also be used for spying.
Could our privacy get stung by robot insects?
In my opinion, it is only a matter of time before a robotic bug is caught spying. Future technologies like flying robot insects, that offer great benefits to humankind, can often be equally detrimental.
Are robotic flying insects secretly patrolling the air right now? 
The flying insect, does not have a processor, camera or a battery (it receives power from a wired tether). If it had any of those items, it would be to heavy to fly. Now add the electronics and hardware to remotely control the craft. Then tack on some more electronics to transmit or store video images and the idea of a flying surveillance insect, even one as large as the average dragonfly, seems unlikely using current technology

  1. The use of robots for sure will bring a lot of benefits to human beings but nevertheless, there are some disadvantages of robotic systems and robots as follows:

    1)High initial cost of robotic systems and robots.

    2)Possible need for extra space, and new technology, to accommodate robotic systems and robots.

    3)Importance of using highly skilled and technical engineers, programmers and others to set up robotic systems and robots to prevent unnecessary future problems and mishaps.

    4) Learning curve of persons working with new robotic systems and possible injuries during that time.

    5)Robotic systems and robots are limited to their functions and only the programmers really know what those functions are. Unless Artificial Intelligence is highly sophisticated, robots may not respond properly in times of an emergency or when some unexpected variance occurs.

    6) Introducing new systems will inherently bring out defects.

    7) Intellectual or physical limitations of employees or household consumers with regard to the operation of a robot or robotic system.

  2. Wow....very interesting. Does this kind of small thing can do such a good job? I think this is very good because we are maximizing the technology for the sake of the people. We can use this gadget for the pupose of investigation. Thus, we can benefits a lot as we will not have to risk our life as an investigator but at the same time we get the information we want.
