Blog#9:TED, Robots that fly

 Written by So
 At a university in Pennsylvania, Vijay Kumar and his team are studying on robots. In this video, he has brought a sample of a flying quadroter. What is fascinating about this robot, is that it could fly through the air freely with just four small roters. Also, because of the light body, the robot could fly very fast. The amazing thing is that, the lab members programmed the robot to dodge obstacles automatically. By this program, it is able to control multiple robots to do different things at a time. At the end of the video, the team showed the robots play different instruments at once and make music. If this robot becomes useful, it will definitely be a great invention.

  1. So,
    Why did you choose this episode? I admit it is something I would have never chosen, as I am not that interested in robots. But it is a reality that they will become part of our lives in the future someday.

  2. HI. This is Koichi.

    The robots you introduce is really interesting because I think we can use them in many ways. For example, we can control them to go to dangerous places, such as newclear power plant, and take pictures to research. They will bring some benefits to our life.

    I want to watch the video ASAP.
