A radio-controlled flying sphere has been created in Japan to assist in search and rescue operations.
Fitted with a camera and able to travel at up to 37mph the sphere was designed and built by Fumiyuki Sato who used conventional parts purchased off the shelves of consumer electronics stores. "Because of its spherical shape, it can land in various positions and tumble to move around the ground," he says.
Its Japanese developers call it the 'Futuristic Circular Flying Object' and it's designed to go where humans can't. The radio-controlled sphere, roughly the size of a basketball, was built for search and rescue operations, specifically to fly in and out of buildings weakened by earthquakes or other natural disasters.
