In a video premiered at TED2012, autonomous quadrotors from the University of Pennsylvania’s General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab perform the James Bond Theme.
There is some impressive research coming out of the GRASP Lab; last month, they showcased the quadrotors flying in menacingly perfect formation.
Quadrotors are great fun — check out some of the Arduino-based platforms e.g. ArduCopter, AeroQuad.
