Someday this will probably be used in some cheap plastic cat toy you can buy for a couple dollars at a $5 store.

The funny thing is the researchers always talk about search and rescue applications. They've been inventing search and rescue robots for decades. Flying ones, walking ones, wheeled ones, jumping ones, self-assembling ones, object detection, all sorts of robotics are supposed to be for search and rescue. But in real life, they're for toys, and maybe weapons.
