Aggressive Maneuvers for Autonomous Quadrotor Flight

"Control of precise aggressive maneuvers with an autonomous quadrotor helicopter. This is a small autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Demonstrations of flips, flight through windows, and quadrotor perching are shown. Work done at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania."

A perfect example of Engineers working on a cool project without thinking about the possible future misuses. A few years from now these guys will wake up to the fact that they and their families are being followed and monitored by the descendants of this 4rotor.

Don't forget the gatling gun! Or, if the 4rotors stay this size, the gatling gun that fires really annoying, tiny bullets!

All hail or new Autonomous Quadrotor Flight Overlords!


Someone posted the exact same comment on youtube, 9 hours after you. Is this a common reference to something I don't know about?

One word: Futurama. You've got around one month to catch up to the rest of us till they start showing it again.

it looks like it's not fully autonomous. it looks like it has a reflector on top and motion tracking cameras all around. i don't see how such setup would work in the real world.

You're wrong. It's from Simpsons. You're probably thinking about "All glory to the hypno toad." You might wanna rewatch Futurama until it airs again.

Edit: Uhm.. is the quote-thingie broken? I didn't edit any of the quote part, but it came out all wrong anyway.
Edit 2: Can't get it to look better than this.

At least we know their achilles heel: velcro.

Please save me human! Save me from this ingenious trapping substance!
