Spherical flying machine developed by Defense Ministry’s Research Department (via DigInfo)

The Japanese Sci-Fi drone future is here:
This is the world’s first spherical flying machine developed by the Research Department at Japan’s Ministry of Defense.
This machine can hover like a helicopter, and take-off and land vertically. But because it works like a propeller plane standing vertically, it can fly forward at high speed using wings, which a helicopter can’t do. This machine also has three gyro sensors, so even if it hits an obstacle, it can maintain its attitude and keep flying through automatic control.
