Essentially, a tiny fly was by some ingenious fashion hooked up to a machine that stimulated its senses and tricked it into thinking what it sees through that tube is its real surroundings-- and then furthermore tracks all of the motions it makes and transmits that to a robot with a little camera on top, which mimics the fly's movement.
Check out the video of the flyborg moving through a little obstacle course, it's pretty mind-boggling:
