Watch A Robot Ride A Hovercycle

A white plastic robot zooms a hoverbike over the English countryside, grains blowing beneath the bike's four fans. The robot's 3-D printed body is lightweight, and where its face would be there's a GoPro camera instead, filming the flight.

This isn't a scene from a dystopian science fiction movie; The bike, created by Malloy Aeronautics, is less than four feet long, and combined robot and bike weighs a maximum of 15.4 pounds.
