The General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania is developing algorithms to control swarms of quadrotors, also known as quadcopters
or quadricopters
.
Their research group has some amazing videos of quadrotors in coordinated flight, and quadrotors
working together to perform a coordinated construction task. The GRASP lab is involved in numerous other projects that are worth checking out.
Here is a video of quadrotors in coordinated flight:
Here they perform a construction task:
The latter video was featured on The Colbert Report.
Amazing work (and a little creepy!)
