Sometimes, what can be technology can be exhilarating, even as, in the back of my mind, I think what could an evil person do with this?
Such is SMAVNET - Swarming Micro Air Vehicle Network, developed by École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. Basically, it's a way to use robotically controlled drone aircraft to act in concert - talking both to each other and to a ground controller. If this makes you think of the Boids swarming software, only brought to reality -- yeah, me too.
I'm sure someone will find a use for it that is, to my mind, evil. But at the moment, I rather like it.
Sounds like a good way to disperse mind altering chemicals into the population...better than using chemtrails.

Oh, yeah. I'm waiting for the first use of robotically controlled mini-UAVs by those folks. No kidding.
