Quadrotors Learn New Dance
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 28 of September , 2010 at 12:17 am
ETH Zürich’s dancing quadrotors are back (with a friend), dancing to a new arrangement entitled ‘Rise Up.’ You know, it would be pretty cool if they could somehow allow people to submit music and choreography for the robots to act out… I have no idea how that would work, I’m just saying, it would be cool.
Pretty soon, that won’t even be necessary, though… The robots will do all their own choreography, creating a dance on the fly for whatever music you decide to throw at them. And then, the world! Bwa ha ha!

That’s actually pretty cool. Nice job of choreography. More importantly, the precision of each bot can be judged within centimeters of stationary objects. Those things were zipping pretty close to the netting.
Could you see Apache choppers doing this dance? HUGE waste of fuel, but it would be an awesome demo using a slower song like a waltz to compensate for the mass of the helicopters.
