Light-weight, autonomous ornithopters form a promise to observe places that are too small or too dangerous for humans to enter. In this article, we discuss the DelFly project, in which we follow a top-down approach to ever smaller and more autonomous ornithopters. Top-down signifies that the project always focuses on complete flying systems equipped with camera. We give arguments for the approach by explaining which findings on the DelFly I and DelFly II recently led to the development of the DelFly Micro: a 3.07-gram ornithopter carrying a camera and transmitter onboard. These findings concern the design, aerodynamics, and vision-based control of the DelFly. In addition, we identify main obstacles on the road to fly-sized ornithopters.
