Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the "couch guitar".
These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.
Penn's School of Engineering and Applied Science is home to some of the most innovative robotics research on the planet, much of it coming out of the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab.
This video premiered at the TED2012 Conference in Long Beach, California on February 29, 2012. Deputy Dean for Education and GRASP lab member Vijay Kumar presented some of this groundbreaking work at the TED2012 conference, an international gathering of people and ideas from technology, entertainment, and design.
The engineers from Penn, Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev, have formed a company called KMel Robotics that will design and market these quadrotors.

http://www.ted.com What is a mistake? By talking through examples with his improvisational Jazz quartet, Stefon Harris walks us to a profound truth: many actions are perceived as mistakes only because we don't react to them appropriately.

"Your Own Advice"
by Ryan Lerman
What could go wrong with the cloud that I'm on
You say it could go any day
Well leave it to you to know just what to do
You think I want to turn out the way that you did
You know just what I need
And how kind of you to share it with me
Did you ever think to take your own advice
What good is it to talk to a brick
We both know I was born to break
I couldn't sit still long enough to build
And the pressure was too much to take
I pity you man you've got nothing to do
You just sit in your tower and scream at the world below
In pinstripes the sky is dressed up tonight
The soft rain it plays on my window
Calloused are my hands from the fight
I never wanted it to end up the way that it did

Acompanhe um dia inteiro de trabalho no famoso "Expresso Paraná", é assim que é chamado pelos tripulantes essa chave de vôos com cinco pernas:
Curitiba/Guarulhos, Guarulhos/Curitiba, Curitiba/Londrina, Londrina/Curitiba e Curitiba/Guarulhos.
Começando logo cedo pela manhã e se estendendo até o meio da tarde.
