Quadcopters video

Fun & Games Robotics Science

Via DIY Drones comes this video of the Stanford STARMAC (Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent) quadcopters:

STARMAC, the Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent is a testbed of 6 quadrotor helicopter unmanned aerial vehicles that fly indoors and outdoors to experiment with autonomous agent algorithms. This video presents an overview of the control system, the vehicle capabilities, and the experimental applications for the testbed. Results of many experimental flights are shown, along with some fun flight results that push the limits of what the vehicles should be able to handle.

Stanford quadcopters rock!

    I’m in the process of building a quadcopter right now and if you know what to google for you will find tons of quad rotor projects: http://dion.swamp.dk/mk.html

    I’m building a MikroKopter which is a simple and relatively cheap german design that allows you to do everything yourself, but Draganfly sells ready to fly models as well…
