Quadrotors are teaming up for coordinated assault. Already known for its work on quadrotors, the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab, located at the University of Pennsylvania, is moving at light speed. Alex Kushleyev, Daniel Mellinger, and Vijay Kumar have advanced the quadrotor’s behavior to the point where they now can carry out some quite complex autonomous swarm behavior. In this video, 20 nano quadrotors demonstrate movement in multiple formations. Each autonomous quadrotor manages to hold their position in the formation perfectly during movement. Formations can also transition between many 3D shapes. The nano quadrotors have been developed byKMel Robotics. Watch the dexterity and coordination of these nano machines. We also recommend watching: "Future Spying Robots: Quadrotor Agressive Maneuvers" and "Aerial Swarm Robots to the Rescue".
Nano Quadrotors: Amazing Swarming Behavior
Quadrotor is a research project in GRASP lab at University of Pennsylvania. The University of Pennsylvania(or Penn, UPenn) is an American privateresearch university located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It is one of the Ivy League universities and one of the nine original Colonial Colleges. Incorporated as The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, Penn is also one of 14 founding members of the Association of American Universities.
