Experiments performed with a team of nano quadrotors at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania. Vehicles developed by KMel Robotics. Special thanks to Professor Daniel Lee for his support.
The fact that these things sound like bees terrifies me in a most primal sort of way
It kinda scares me too
Here after 11 years. Feels weird to see this content again lol.
Now all you need is a BB gun and you've got Space Invaders IRL.
Oh my gosh. That sound speaks to me. The buzzing of them.. it reminds me of Mantrid Drones and makes me hope that these things will soon be able to build copies of themselves. Oh the beauty
The future is here. I hope i'll live long enough to see more stuff like these
OK, these are just too cool...
This is fucking petrifying.
WOW this + Martin Jetpack= the next personal urban transport system
Imagine having your own augmented reality system or a swarm of robotic hornets at your command. First thing I can think of you could use them as a super flying ability.
Wow they are snazzy, but imagine what they could be used for.
You could put a 9mm round and small barrel and have this drones kamikaze into the enemy you want to assassinate or make them explode
Drones that could communicate visual and location data with each other could easily reconstruct an environment and move around it safely. Here comes the push for secondary co-processors on drones.
THEY'RE IN MY HAIR! THEY'RE IN MY HAIR!
I'm teaching Robotics at a high school in NYC. Would love the specs on these. Are the chasis 3D printed? Any open sourced code you guys can share. I'd love a sense of where you get your parts and if you have a starter kit idea. Would love to get small drones going with my students.
Thanks!
"nano" seems like a bit of an exaggeration.
In 2012 that was nano.
I didn't know that nanometers got smaller.
You mean bigger in this situation, as the "nano" quadcopters are about a quarter-billion nanometers across, and since just about anything with single digit nanometer dimensions is not remotely visible to the naked eye unless it's emitting "visible-range" wavelengths of light (as opposed to passively reflecting), the title is misleading market-speak. It's 1 part clickbait and 9 parts very cool tech, but whatever...

If you've ever played around with these little devices you'd realize that it doesn't take much wind at all to completely destabilize them. Their tiny motors are only so strong and they don't have the power to compensate for strong gusts of wind. Take them outside on a windy day and this experiment would completely fall to pieces.
It's smile is really eerie considering that buzzing will send people running for cover in the future
manhacks are real. run for your life gordon freeman!
"Star wars. Episode 0.1: Attack of clones ... sorry, drones!!" :-)
“St2pid luv” karaoke in the background you know you’re in the Philippines 😂💀
Below is my original post about a few hours ago on a neighborhood site. Quite amazing. The wind was reported at 12mph Westerly at that time, and these were traveling due South. They must have gone at least 7 miles in 4 minutes.
840 pm sat, at least 60, lighted craft in the night sky, which I first mistook for stars, but noticed them flying overhead and changing formation like an amoeba flew over rather slowly and continued to the south. fascinating. Neighbors also witnessed.
Cool, real world Space Invaders.
my nerf gun is locked and loaded!
Use drone spray there more better then nerf guns it will kill those drones in seconds
Cool real world black ops 2 swarm score streak
I feel like we are looking at the future of the world right here
Yeah I want some of these for christmas.
LED is the control board's way of letting the user know if the board is "armed" or not. Doesn't draw much power for its practical use :)
why does this scare the shit out of me??
perhaps because of the aesthetics of the last frame.
because you have been TAUGHT to be afraid..by church,Corp(se) television,,and now 75% of utube sites...it's an illness ,FEAR,a usefull tool of control..FEAR NOT..behold,i bring good tidings...BOYCOTT CHURCH AND STATE,,,peace,j.w.
Because they sound like a swarm of giant bugs.

it looks like galaga
1:13 I will never sleep with my window open again. FREAKY SQUARED!
Soon as I saw that figure 8, I was like "WOAH" then liked the video, the point is. This is impressive. You never see anything like this these days.
REAL LIFE GALAGA!
Now all they need is a frickin laser beam on their head. Totally creeps me out. I want a few hundred of those :D
Impressive - air shows will never be the same again
You don't need quadrotors to guide a bomb to a target, there's laser designation, gps coordinates, the bomb would take a lot of time to arrive and can't hit underground/fortified structures
Love to see that in government hands!
Anyone can spy on anyone way too easily nowadays. With this and Google Glasses, I don't feel there's any privacy left on this bitching planet.
The NSA is collecting everything that anyone does on the internet and recording anything anyone says during phone conversations and storing it all in a gigantic database for easy referencing. I think people playing with quadrocoptors and wearing Google Glasses are the least of our worries.

No, because out on the streets and in your home is - or used to be - the one place where you do have some privacy. Now you can't even walk anywhere without risking putting your face in Google's database without even knowing it.
*****
And after that, micro death stars.
***** Why are you worried more about your face being in google's database than your entire personal life being in the government's database?
What's google going to do to you? Put ads on your searches that are relevant to your interests?
Amaroq64
1. 'The government' (I assume you mean the USA government) doesn't have cameras on every corner of every street and doesn't make/save profiles based on faces that are seen by cameras.
2. The government has no interest in advertising and tracking your every move and geographical location, etc., unless they have a solid reason to do so.
3. Google is and functions globally and litterally has eyes everywhere now, thanks to the Glasses. You might say that, in a way, Google has more power than all countries' governments combined.
Just imagine a group of 6 of these little suckers can scan the target's house, scan the layout of the building and take out all terrorists in a matter of minutes. Technology is getting scary
Very impressive. Curious to see wind tunnel testing
I hate the future!
good show, not all of it can. perfect synchronization of all models
i cant wait until they have a bunch of these full sized doing air shows at the superbowl
I'd love to see you win America's Got talent...set this to music, big lights, dancers....etc
...so finally I know what the pixels in Space Invaders were supposed to be!
I should add, I was walking on twin peaks in San Francisco at this evening when I spotted the swarm. It was quite dark, so it was easy to see. I honestly thought they were airplanes and assumed they were at least 7 to 10K feet up judging by their speed relative to me on the ground. But planes just don't swarm like that as far as I know, so figured it must be these flying much lower than I assumed.
Great work, but one fun thought... It would be neat to see these nano quadroters playing Galaga!!
If you blow fans at them they would just sit there. The Quadrotors perfectly balance it so no matter the speed of the wind it will just sit there.
I put this at about 60% awesome and 40% terrifying.
This is how Michael Crichton's "Prey" will begin.
keep 10 of them at your workplace and fly them into the bosses office and have them do intimidating formations when he refuses to give you a raise :)
this has got to be one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life!! I wish I can build one of those.
I'm sure this is just an example of the scaled up version that would be TRULY SCARY!
I wanna see up-scaled versions of these.
This answered my question that if you threw a drone up, could it fly.
Scariest sound ive ever heard , imagine walking down a street and one of these things flies near you with a camera ..recording your every move.
This is computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering by the looks of it.
I can guarantee having a soldier that has tens of thousands of dollars of training sunk into them and further thousands of equipment exploded would be much much more expensive.
this is actually scarier than it is amazing, or at least equal parts scary and amazing.
I can't wait for a time in the future when these can be bought for $10 as a children toy
This scared me 9 years ago. God forbid how we’ve innovated by almost a decade.
The software to control this many drones is amazing I can see the home protection Application for this !
Next gen technology came earlier than expected.
they are very smooth functioning robots
The noise is terrifying!
This is f**** awesome! Welcome to the future of warfare
It's amazing how far technology has come from the 1980's and this is just the stuff the government is allowed to show the public imagine he stuff they cant show us :0
I use to play Down of War (warhammer40k), would love this thing to be interfaced with game, and each vehicle represented in 3d
AWSOME this is incredible advancement in flight control.
This is John's vision of the locusts!
damn, the figure 8 formation is crazy
i just came here from the ten years ago on neal fun, and it shows this video uploaded 14 hours ago with a couple thousand views. so cool
I, for one, welcome our new nano-quadrotor overlords.
Those would make one fantastic game of Space Invaders.
electrical engineering is onw of your best shots
I have a feeling the US Armed Forces will be interested in the possible military applications of what these young men have created.
Its brave of you to come out and tell everyone about your disorder.
Having a swarm of these flying after you would be scary enough, even without any offensive capabilities! I don't want one though, I NEED one!
Given how they look and sound, I'd call them, chunky electronic bees, or something.
It would cost less than the drones they use overseas now. On the other hand it cant carry cargo, but it would easily be worth the cost in terms of information and practically guaranteed kills without putting actual soldiers in harms way.
You can't just get a job like that dude. You probably need qualifications, certificates or a university degree in Electronic Engineering. Looks awesome too.
Read Deception Point by Dan Brown published in 1994. In the prolog he states "All technologies described in this book exist" In one of the first chapters, a Delta-Force team is using a dragonfly sized reconnaisance drone to spy on agroup of scientists in the arctic. That was 1994. If the public is being made aware of ground breaking technology with military uses, it's because it is already obsolete. Nanobots are probably not that far off.
Aerial Traffic jams of the future here we come.
No joke, I think I saw one just now! I was looking out the window (its raining hard) and I saw a flying bug that had an unusual shape, even the way it was flying (it looked like a "T" shape). Anyways, as I was looking outside I saw it and then it faced in front of me but when I noticed it, it started to back away and fly towards the rain (it was under my balcony roof). I never seen such an insect, so I searched this up.
using the power of computers and control theory, they can do very complicated scary jobs
DISA took over ARPANET in 75, 2 years after the first trans-atlantic connection. Unless you have a better reason scientists needed a network that was specifically designed to be decentralised, that coupled with the fact the military communications arm took over almost immediately after it was operational, makes it military-related.
The figure 8 blew my mind
These things are so adorable. (Compared to their enormous counterparts)
reminds me of Revelation's Locust-like Creatures that swarm!: "they had scales like iron breastplates, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. They have tails like scorpions, and stings, and their power of hurting men for five months lies in their tails."
Thanks for you reply, Peter. To my googling, Lockheed Martin also has a serious quad copter program. I am posting this information on what I saw, in order to find someone in the community who would come forward with knowledge about the test. If you happen to know any leads on who might have been behind or even aware of such a daring event, please forward my information on to them. Thank you!

I, for one, welcome our new Quadrotor overlords
The only thing i kept thinking of during the formation flying was ''Space Invaders''
Funny how they called these Quadrotors before they were just called Drones nowadays.
they're under the multi-rotor drone category that's why
@@zahlen_0092 Literally no one calls them Quadrotors anymore, though. Only time I saw "Quadrotors" used was 2012's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
@@RoseSupreme well, if I saw a "quadrotor" I'd also just think of it as a drone if that's what you mean
Hey Rose S., I gotta give you a heads up on a huge domain "usedquadcopters.com." It hasn't been designed before, I'm the first owner, it comes with the exact matching Twitter Account and it's gonna be priced under it's market value (Approx. $3500 - $5888 USD). If you are interested buy it right now before it goes back to it's regular summer price range of $7,500 USD - $12,500 USD.
Message me YT
DM me @usedquadcopters Twitter
You also get the "Exact Matching Twitter" as part of this deal!

PS: DJI manufactures, advertises and ships as "UAV Drone Quadcopters" which is a very universal description of their products versatility in different industries.
At least I am not the only thinking this could be a predecessor of the Terminator lol
*Switches to autopilot*
*World is taken over*
would love to see a swarming pattern in 3D space not just as a 2D plane such as the figure 8. Have them be able to track a object in space and swarm around it.... now that would be cool... love the demo
These are like the swarm kill streak in Call of Duty
This is the extreme technology breakthrough if we can use this technology and a daily life we can change the world from the now in the future.
i think we should welcome our new multicopter overlords.
all of these tech are in the holy book.
?????? the holy book? whats this???
YES! But will they cook dinner, do my laundry, and clean my house? Get that down and I'll take ten.
a 100 of this can win wars
this technology will be a certain weapon in the future
firefighting quadcopters certainly sound viable. no onboard human means more water carrying capacity and safer.
