Aggressive Maneuvers for Autonomous Quadrotor Flight

Control of precise aggressive maneuvers with an autonomous quadrotor helicopter. This is a small autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Demonstrations of flips, flight through windows, and quadrotor perching are shown. Work done at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania.

the future of the human race looks grimmer and grimmer each day.

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them; the Quadrotors will soon be here. And I for one welcome our new Quadrotor Overlords. I’d like to remind them that as a trusted Youtube denizen, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground Quadrotor production facilities.

All Hail Quadrotors!

KK 2.0 :D :D :D

Just kidding, probably they created their own flight controllers, it´s not that hard if you know what you´re doing ;)

Besides being a pseudointellectual, you seem to have gotten your scaling wrong.

We're not talking about Deus Ex nonomachines, you know, kid.

You realize a manhack is a mechanical impossibility, right? Using real materials and a propeller for lift, something that small simply does not have the torque to cut through more than a few millimeters of skin, much less bone.

I am sick and tired of people bemoaning the advancement of robotics, citing scenarios like Terminator as if it was based on actual scientific fact. These are high-tech toys, and will never pose a physical threat.

OH GOD IT'S LOOKING AT YOU.

FUCKING MANHACKS FROM HALF LIFE 2

We're fucked. Everyone buy a gun right fucking now.
