Control of precise aggressive maneuvers with an autonomous quadrotor helicopter. This is a small autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Demonstrations of flips, flight through windows, and quadrotor perching are shown. Work done at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania.

KK 2.0 :D :D :D Just kidding, probably they created their own flight controllers, it´s not that hard if you know what you´re doing ;)

Jesus Christ is God, this is the truth. In HIM was life, and that life was the light of all people. Get saved, ask JESUS CHRIST to save you !

Besides being a pseudointellectual, you seem to have gotten your scaling wrong. We're not talking about Deus Ex nonomachines, you know, kid.

You realize a manhack is a mechanical impossibility, right? Using real materials and a propeller for lift, something that small simply does not have the torque to cut through more than a few millimeters of skin, much less bone.

I am sick and tired of people bemoaning the advancement of robotics, citing scenarios like Terminator as if it was based on actual scientific fact. These are high-tech toys, and will never pose a physical threat. OH GOD IT'S LOOKING AT YOU.

FUCKING MANHACKS FROM HALF LIFE 2 We're fucked. Everyone buy a gun right fucking now.

Not a flawless maneuver as you can hear the Quadrotor repeatedly nicking the edge of the "window" 0:51 and yes, I could do better...but not really.

What flight controllers are you using? INSANE!

How the fuck did u make those

Small quadrotors with precision flying innovations are quite clearly neither well suited, nor developed for the purposes of hauling relief supplies. Similarly, while maintaining position is important for filming, the maneuvers shown above add nothing substantial to filming capabilities. Right now, the only application that gains immediate benefit from these innovations is surveillance. It is my hope that there will be more development aimed towards humanitarian and entertainment purposes.

When this amazing engineering is being used primarily for the purpose of governments spying on their own citizenry, creating a situation where technology's primary purpose as of development is to infringe on the freedoms of the average person, YES it makes the human race get worse. The technology itself is amazing, but the applications of it (which are driving it's funding and shaping it's development) are downright chilling.

So amazing engineering makes the human race get worse? Alright cave man...

The best quadrotors around.

Please tell me where can I buy one of yours guys

amazing precision and flight control.

agreed, these quadrotors will be used to deliver disaster relief in areas that would otherwise be inaccesible and is being used to film movies like skyfall and loads of tv production companies use them because they're a lot safer than flying a huge helicopter just to get an aerial shot.

Seriously cool tech. Well done.

this was in 2010, the one being released in 2014 uses mapping tech to maneuver through any building.
