Engineers have programmed tiny flying robots to play the James Bond theme tune on musical instruments.

The quadrobots were pre-programmed to hit the correct note at the correct time to give an accurate rendition of the movie music.

A video of the performance, premiered at the TED2012 Conference in California, shows them playing the tune on a keyboard, drums, maracas, a cymbal and a guitar.

The video was made by engineers at Penn's School of Engineering and Applied Science in America, home to some of the most innovative robotics research on the planet.
