The quadrotor

This quadrotor is the best flying robot I have ever seen. Just watch the videos, you will be amazed by its great Maneuverability, and all the cool things it can do :)

IR Cameras

I don’t know if it mentions it in the films, but they use IR cameras that are mounted around the room for localization. Thats what those red lights are. It would be even more impressive if they could do something like this with onboard sensors!

Published Stuff

The guys that do this work have published a nice article all about it in the IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine. If you have a IEEExplore access, search for “The Grasp Multiple Micro-UAV Testbed”.

Thanks, looks like

Thanks, looks like an interesting article. I don’t have access to IEEE Xplore though :slight_smile:
