I want to research Control Theory and look for cross-applications in the ERP space.

It may not be obvious, but it might be possible. I have cross-applied physics with business before.

very impressive indeed!

Thanks for posting. Most interesting but way over my head:)

Impressive, but the most impressive thing by far was the presenter’s ability to talk up simple things into sounding FARRRRR more complex than they were.

“We **synthesized** a mathematical algorithm...”

How about, “we MADE”...?

He did stuff like that about 1,000 times —he’s very worried about not impressing people.

Very cool. The algorithm development for this kind of thing is more straightforward than you might expect when it’s in an area where people have come before and the math has been worked out. Then it’s mainly an engineering problem. But when you get off the beaten path it quickly becomes a scientific problem that requires lots of imaginitive thinking and problem solving. I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when they were thinking their way through the group behavior with the ball and the net.

It reminds me of the flying balls used to train the Jedi in Star Wars. Amazing video!!

It lloks like within five years quads will be intercepting incoming enemy fire on the battle field.

You have just advance my knowledge of flight, where we learn yaw, pitch and roll. Add acclelration to the forces acting on an aircraft (or submarine) in flight. Very interesting, and a topic for coffee time at the airport tomorrow.
