So for those of you who are TED fans you probably already know about this, but at the recent TED show a researcher showcased the autonomous aerial robots he and his team have created. These robots are unbelievable, they can hover, shoot up or down, fly at almost any angle and most impressively fly without a pilot in formation (hence autonomous). Put a few LED’s on these things, send them up at night and I guarantee they’ll fool any UFO investigator on earth. The uses of these robots are numerous and on the video they are shown mapping the inside of buildings and building things cooperatively, check out the video it’s amazing.
