SensorFly Survives Racket Beatdown

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 23 of November , 2009 at 1:09 am

SensorFly is a prototype for what will eventually be an entire swarm of autonomous mini helicopters that can navigate, talk to each other, and carry sensors (including a miniature camera and microphone) to perform tasks like locating survivors after a disaster. Each robot weighs only 29 grams, but they’re remarkably resilient, able to handle collisions with walls as well as swats from vicious racket-swinging grad students.
