Slideshow: Helicopter Drones Are Everywhere

In recent years there has been a proliferation of helicopter drones. Some are small enough to fit in your palm, while others are “roadable,” large enough drive along roads as well as fly. The roadable drones were designed to retrieve soldiers wounded in battle. The tiny robots were designed for military surveillance.
