The US Air Force has given the go ahead for the development of robotic, Frisbee shaped drones to assist in its counter-insurgency missions in areas of hostility, such as the middle-east. The Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (known as UAVs) would be piloted remotely as they scour especially inhospitable or remote locations [...]

Though cameras that can be swallowed to relay internal pictures from within a patient’s body already [...]
