Have you ever wondered if some people watched the movie “Terminator” and thought “Gee wouldn’t it be great to be responsible for Skynet? I bet their IPO was through the roof!”

Very cool, but they’re “cheating” a bit. The reason why there’s white sheets on the wall and floor is so that a computer can pick out each quadrotor in a camera image. The quadrotors are only responding to commands from the centeral computer. Impressive, but hardly swarm-like.

O. M. G. !!!

I’m speechless beyond saying that anyone with a good imagination will have their heads spinning with the vast possibilities suggested by these videos.

Then the quadrotors were taught to work together...

Don't a lot of sci-fi/horror movies start that way?

There’s one in every crowd. The middle one in the second column from the left in the top picture is evidently an individualist flying to his own drum.
