Nice find,    I want 5 to do stuff around the house...     

get  the mail,  dust the house, do security sweeps, pest control, there's actually alot of uses for that kind of thing.  can't wait to see what becomes of it 10-20 years down the road.

Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson (author of Snow Crash) details a world where smog isn't pollution, it's small nanites in the air sensing EVERYTHING. You can breathe into a mask at the end of your day and it collects them.

First thing I thought of when seeing the video is recreating the blind jedi training test bot from star wars using a nerf gun.
