These robots soar by fluttering tiny wings because they are too small to use propellers, like those seen on their larger drone cousins. Small size is advantageous: These robots are cheap to make and can easily slip into tight places that are inaccessible to big drones.

soon they will look like flies too... Then "to be a fly on the wall" will be a real thing...
 
I don't know if I would call rocking 1/4in of the table top for less than a second "flying". Didn't seem to be "soaring" very well.
