This editorial paper discusses on various mechanics of flying robotics. It represents not only the use of various robots but also how it can be used in day-to-day life right from lifting a water bottle, opening door, land surveying and rescuing victims – such as building collapse. Technology of flying robots can also lead us to advanced foldable robots to transformers. It gives a brief insight on the smallest robot bee to a drone man robot that can be helpful to human life in future. Few of them discussed are flying robots that can carry heavy cargo, flying robots that can fly better than flies, robots that can transform in flight, micro bots that can land and stick to surfaces and, finally, drone man robot.References
