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.

Machinist Bob Schneeveis made the Solar Electric Robot Chariot. Powered by the sun, the chariot is pulled by an anatomic machine that walks on wheels to lengthen its stride. Machined almost completely out of metal, the mechanics of this art car are driven by Grant Grundler at Maker Faire Bay Area 2011. http://makerfaire...

"Bringing the album cover to life"
Cover shoot with Chris McClure for Arctic Monkeys' debut album 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'
"Five songs peppered throughout the album -- 'The View From The Afternoon', 'Dancing Shoes', 'Still Take You Home', 'Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured' and 'From The Ritz To The Rubble' -- make up a story of sorts. The pictures that represent each of these songs all feature Chris McClure, a friend of the band's from High Green, and he ended up -- unwittingly -- becoming the cover star. "It made sense to have him on the front cover," said designer Scott Jones, "because as an album, it's representing a day in the life of this guy, it's representing the whole 'work during the week, get twatted at the weekend, then do the same thing over and over again' thing. The cover shot is just a snapshot of the Saturday night at one point."
Bassist Andy is quick to defend their buddy against allegations that he's the scummy man of 'When The Sun Goes Down' fame: "He's a good friend of ours and when you see the rest of the artwork it will make sense, but even the title, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not', you could look at Chris smoking and think anything, and not until you meet him will you know what he's like. He's one of the nicest people you could ever wish to meet, but he doesn't look like it. He hadn't even smoked for about two years as well -- he started smoking again for our photo."
And Chris showed devotion beyond the call of duty. Artwork designer Scott Jones: "We did one version and he wasn't pissed enough. His eyes weren't right, he looked a bit too conscious and the position he's in wasn't right. So the next week we got him completely hammered in the Korova bar in Liverpool. He was sort of quite ill at the time, to the point of, 'Are we doing the right thing?' We did have a couple of photos of him lying on the floor, being sick everywhere. So we got him back up and he was bright as a button five minutes later, so I think the puke did him good."
