What kind of propellers are you using at 1:30? Are counter rotating flexible propellers for RC readily available and where? (Those would be a good investment for my quad, as I've broken quite a few ordinary ones)

@AFLoneWolf Bow down to our robot masters for about 45 minutes until the batteries run out. Then put them in the cupboard because they're too dangerous to play with until we're older. Standard 6 year old at christmas rules, basically.
Very impressive, but as some commenters noted, the quadcopters aren't capable of doing much outside of the arena. What are the chances of solving that problem by using an on-board inertial navigation system (three orthogonal gyros and three accelerometers) for the quadcopter to be able to calculate its position and orientation in space without using external cameras? Sure you'd need some other reference to correct for gyro drift, but then they would be able to fly anywhere.
@LMF5000 You could put a processor and some memory on the quadcopter itself and run the low-level algorithms of your current software on it using the position data from the on-board navigation sensors instead of cameras in the room. And in the next version, include an on-board camera and train the computer to use it to recognise things such as a special mark you'd place on each charging station for the robot to recognise them, and see and avoid hazardous obstacles such as walls.
And if mass produced these new conveyances would be affordable by the general public - if you can afford a Lexus, you could afford one of these. And within maybe 15 ~ 20 years, a low-end model could cost below 10,000 Euros.
Your platform could be a great starting point for designing the next revolution in transportation. The trick would be to design a flight and navigation system that is totally "AI" automatic and controlled wirelessly by the cell grid (or similar grid approach). In this way, users would not need flight experience to control one of these. Merely entering a destination would be all that is required, with basic user steering and directional control. Altitude and speed is controlled by the system.
Indeed it would be difficult. But whosoever works all this out safely and reliably stands to really change the world. This could be the next "big thing" like microwave ovens or cell phones - something that could potentially jump-start the world's economy and enable a new mode of human transportation for the future. Some AI will be involved, and redundant flight systems as is with all aircraft. But with today's technology, it probably could be done. Large financial gains to be had!
So why can't a personal conveyance using a larger version of this design be offered to the public? With all the on-board "learning" and flight control algorithms controlling one of these it would make it virtually impossible to crash unless there was a serious technical failure in some part of the system. And with a four-motor "Quad-Lift" system, it could be designed with "Lift Redundancy" such that it could maintain level flight with any one of the motors shut down (in case a motor fails)
@deanplmr To answer your two points: 1) learning adds quite a bit of complexity -- for anything carrying people you really need it to be rock-solid. See fly-by-wire systems as examples. It'll get there, but a big challenge is making learning algorithms robust, and to keep them from "learning" the wrong thing. 2) The quadrocopters we use actually have no actuator redundancy: 1 motor fails = violent crash. A hexacopter, octocopter, or variable pitch quadrocopter does have some redundancy.
@UntitledTitle Shouldn't it be possible to maintain level flight with 1 failed motor? The 2 opposite motors would have to be able to at least carry the weight. Any inbalance perpendicular to the line between the 2 opposing motors will be dealt with by the remaining motor, either negative or positive lift.
@spookmineer Not currently. Two reasons: 1) Typical fixed-pitch air propellers are optimized to produce thrust in one direction (the reverse does produce a bit of thrust but the drag ratio is laughably huge). 2) Sensorless brushless motors, like we use, are difficult to reverse quickly. It takes time to spin them up -- this has to be done pretty much open-loop... time that you don't have if you're trying to stabilize roll with one motor.
allowing the operator to set the craft down safely. The chance of two motors failing at the same time is exceedingly small. And local auto-navigation codecs could be sent wirelessly to the system via the cellular grid allowing rotor travelers to reach their destination by traveling along "freeways in the sky.
Nice. In the event they get a nervous breakdown after spending five days looking for a glitch, the arena doubles as a padded room.
I wonder if there's a similar one off the shelf that you can control on your PC with a HOTAS and a camera. Would be nice flying around the neighborhood.
@Nightshade2988 Two props spin clockwise, two counterclockwise. Spin one pair up, and the drag makes the quad spin (imagine a helicopter without a tail rotor).
God I love living in an age of technology, who knows what this will lead to in the future. Flying cars? (I'm not saying this will lead to it, but wildly guessing).
What I mean is, technology is amazing if used correctly and once our computer overlords take over I will do my best to please them xD
It's not CyberDyne. Arnie does not need a synthetic environment with 8(!) cameras to move around. These quadcopters are not autonomous - outside the flying machine arena they are useless. Now doing the same thing with local processing on the AR drone, fully autonomously, that would be impressive. I'd like to have something you can take with you on a game of tennis or badminton and that's not it.
@miklonish I would assume from just watching this they use a Lithium Polymer because of there high discharge rates, voltage per cell and weigh less than most other batteries including lithium ion which power most computer electronics.
Europeans almost all use Windows still. Total win for the tech support industry. You really ought to find software for Unix, or possibly a Linux flavor. Your machinery and your sanity would thank you.
