“Festo isn’t quite the household name that Boston Dynamics is. (And, really, we’re not entirely sure Big Dog is a regular topic of conversation at dinner tables yet.)

The 17.3-inch long dragonfly drone can flutter through the air in any direction, and even hover, just like its biological inspiration.”
