Tanque

You can run but you can't hide.

I wonder how long it will take for someone to market a module to turn one of our tanks into an
independent goal seeking battle tank_bot that one just unleashes on the battlefield.

Yep, the future is upon us.

UPenn's GRASP lab unleashes a swarm of Nano Quadrotors

Remote-controlled quadrotor robots have been around for some time, but in the following video just released by a research team at the University of Pennsylvania's General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab, science fiction edges much closer to science fact as a swarm of the Nano Quadrotors perform some astounding maneuvers.

Admittedly, use of the term "nano" may be stretching things a bit, but even so, the capable little robots provide an interesting glimpse into what the future may hold for surveillance, search and rescue, light construction and warfare.

GRASP robotics researchers Alex Kushleyev, Daniel Mellinger and Vijay Kumar teamed up with developer KMel Robotics to program teams of up to twenty agile-flight-capable quadrotors to fly in various complex formations. As the video shows, the quad squadron can fly in linear arrays, navigate around obstacles and otherwise exhibit what the GRASP team dubs complex autonomous swarm behavior.

My Feedback: (1)

Just saw this today and thought it was quite interesting a way to infringe on our privacy...but I am sure they wouldn't do that...

I just want to see one outside near my home..see how it reacts to home defense weapons. I sold my tank and all my machine guns, but I'm still on file. [:'(]

Of course, "they" wouldn't do that to us" ....only the key words to remember...Hitler, Stalin, Caucescu, any communist country....and France even today.[:-]

To think what these things are doing in the military is frightening and now, naturally the CIA has them...so if you have an open window.....[&:], "honey, that's not a mosquito...get the shotgun"

Very interesting indeed.
