Mini-Quadcopters fly in formation, impress everyone

Nano-quads (via KMEL Robotics)
 
Kmel Robotics may have one of the best promotions for their future flagship product, the mini quad-copter, via a collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania's GRASP Lab. The demonstration shows a series of synchronized flying patterns. The video gives the illusion of autonomous swam behavior. At the moment, both Kmel and GRASP are not letting out any information on the project.

The University of Pennsylvania researchers Alex Kushleyev, Daniel Mellinger, and Vijay Kumar put these quad-copters to the test. As the video shows, it was a very successful project. Like small remote control helicopters, we all received one Christmas in the past, these quad-copters will have a very limited battery power source. This is the only information released at the moment. As more develops, I will report back immediately.

Where can all this lead? To a better understanding of autonomous swarm control, rescue purposes, or continue to work together and impress like the Swarmanoids. Either way, these are sure to make an impact.

    Very impressive.  I'm sure someday a swarm will either come to my rescue or to capture me, though I hope its the former.
