    When you hear the word "drone," you probably think of something either very useful or very scary. But could they have aesthetic value? Autonomous systems expert Raffaello D'Andrea develops flying machines, and his latest projects are pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight - from a flying wing that can hover and recover from disturbance to an eight-propeller craft that's ambivalent to orientation ... to a swarm of tiny coordinated micro-quadcopters. Prepare to be dazzled by a dreamy, swirling array of flying machines as they dance like fireflies above the TED stage.

    The drone swarm is both amazing and terrifying.

They might be terrorists, people shooting up a school or just any group you, or your government doesn't happen to like. It's all a bit spooky really.

      I know what you mean, I done the same but I found that the small cheep ones do not stabilize very well, if at all, so you spend most of your time, and efforts, walking to it, picking it up and launching it again, over and over.
      Others may think differently, but you might consider upgrading up a bit to one that has stabilized flight and a camera, real time display would be better.
      There are decent ones with a camera that records then you download from the drone it's self, for around $150. Take that $30 and put it your bank and check the net. Also consider spare parts that come with it, getting parts and service and flying time.

      Correct, those do not have a long flight time. We do not have the battery technology needed for a long flight time. However big drones have been used at night to fly in many formations with a pretty light source. They are indeed fascinating to look at.
