Aggressive Quadrotor Maneuvers Are Totally Nuts
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Friday, 28 of May , 2010 at 12:57 am
Every once in a while, we get to see a video of a robot doing something that makes us think “OMG WTF THAT’S WICKED CRAZY IMPOSSIBLE!!1!!” And then, we remember that crazy stuff is entirely possible, because we’re talking about robots, and we have to stop thinking about what is and is not possible in terms of human capabilities.
This is one of those videos:
I don’t have much more info for you than what’s in the video, unfortunately, but it does look like these maneuvers (while obviously autonomous) are currently restricted to an area with a whoooole bunch of sensors that can tell the robot where it is with an accuracy (and frequency) that’s probably pretty impressive.
If you remember, we’ve seen both autonomous acrobatics and autonomous landing on slopes by UAVs, but nothing like this… The precision of these maneuvers is just totally completely nuts.

Effectively,
the red light that can be seen in several corner of the room appears to be some motion capture system (like Vicon ones) that use infrared reflections on markers placed on the robot and obstacles and several cameras (each camera position is fixed and known) to reconstruct 3D positions of markers.
Whatever, this is impressive!

Can you say Skynet? This is the same technology used in those flying machines in Terminator. Judgment Day is coming!

Just in case 2012 is really the end of the world as we know it, it be a good idea to warn future generations of the impending doom by engraving a warning message on a stone tablet. After all, that is what the ancient civilizations, egyptians, mayans did to warn us and ancient aliens?
