DJI and other chinese drones makers are NOT acknowledging recognition to anybody. All over the internet, chinese trolls are claiming DJI invented mini-drones
Congratulations Professor Vijay kumar and your team for this superb achievement. I have been examiner of graduate projects at various Engineering and Technology Institutes in India and I wish that the project guides take clue from your work to go deeper than "toy" level projects. I admire the math analysis done by your team particularly the 12 D analysis. I wish our Labs in India too take the culture of aiming at excellence and do project planning as meticulously as done by you.
Excellent presentation Mr. Vijay Kumar and excellent work by the engineers. I am sure these technology will make impact in future in many applications where we find hard to reach.
i just saw an article written in 1910 about what technology would be like in 100 years, and this would have literally melted the author's brain out of his head
The level of skill involved in making this, and making it work so well, is insane. I can't wait till these become avalible to the public to play with. Programming these to do stuff would be great project work for engineering students.
Pure wonder, the "simplicity" of ingenious innovation. This is, quite literally, the most I've been impressed in a very long time... I've seen this before, but I'm so happy to find out that this is available on TH-cam as well
Reminds me of NNBot from counter-strike. It was a unqiue bot program that never needed waypoints. The bots would wander around, learn the map, and get better with time.
I am amazed at the mathematics of N-space and the rapidity of the calculations necessary to make robots to fly, communicate and work together. The applications of this technology has incredible dimensions that go far beyond war.
this could be the first robot that can be useful in our real word in the future, the specialization of it was really amazing,..technology and knowledge grow fast it was spontaneously moving forward.
Just one word: AMAZING! I am speechless. You deserve some applause (and much more), incredible, I can't believe this is true but is, so much admiration, unbelievable, no words to describe it, I am proud to be human when I see these humans. You make my day!
It is deceptive that he mentioned all those applications which I believe are not the driving force behind such advanced technology. Scary what governments can do when employing such technology against its own citizens.
Except it probably is their driving force. Just because it's capable of being used for bad things doesn't mean that those bad things are the reason for it being made. People, time and time again, have driven their government back down if they collectively felt it was doing a specific thing incorrectly. If the government ever advanced this technology and uses it poorly, it will get thoroughly destroyed by hackers, engineers, and generic patriotic people alike.
Pinkie Pie :) I wish you knew what's really happening in the world and what the future holds for us. Tell me something, do you know what happened to Occupy Wall Street protesters? Those spy planes were there by the way.
Oh put your fucking tin foil hat back on man. This is a cool feet of engineering. This stuff isn't inherintly made or used for bad things. Sure lots of inventions are misused, but arent inherently evil. Don't stunt enginuity or hate on it just because you feel like today the government is trying to steal from you. Don't criminilize the engineer for a crime he isn't committing. If you want to make anyone look like the bad guy, how about the people you are so sure are going to use this against you.
Pinkie Pie Eh, the driving force is Army Research Office grant W911NF-05-1-0219, Office of Naval Research grants N00014-08-1-0696 and N00014-07-1-0829, Army Research Laboratory grant W911NF-08-2-0004, NSF grant CSR-CPS 0720801, DARPA Defense Sciences Office grant HR0011-05-1-0008, etc. etc. Not a conspiracy theory, just simple reality.
+davidsirmons dw. This will be used by the military (lots of tactical applications) before the public can get their hands on it. Since its been 4 years since the reveal, I wouldn't be surprised if they already bought his ideas for use
Wow, that's amazing. Even up to the point where they play the music with the airbots. Fascinating. This opens up quite a bit of imaginary thinking as to what can be accomplished with these type of airbots ( my personal little name). Music not being very efficient probably. But these inventor/developers deserve a lot of credit for what they've accomplished. I'll bet some day we see a lot more of this kind of thing. Thanks for sharing.
too bad the notes at the end are straight up wrong. The James Bond theme is E G D# D not E G D C#. There are many better music videos made by these same robots though.
This is truly marvelous. I really applaud at the people who built this robot. It reminds me of the movie Prometheus. Its just amazing and this is why i want to take up mechatronics or robotics! splendid display of technology!
@bratinsane I am an Indian and I am proud too. And I live in the US and am proud of the US. Only in America can this happen. In US you can thrive if you have the skill and talent. It is like having the seed to grow things but not having the necessary conditions to grow. Like you said I am proud too of the achievements of Indians in the US or where ever they are. And thankful we have the environment to shine.
I was just wondering, when he talks about 12 dimensions, is it 12 because each rotor has its own 3 dimensions to work on and so the device as a whole has (3*4=12) dimensions?
Vijay Kumar (born April 12, 1962) is an Indian roboticist and professor in the School of Engineering & Applied Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. Kumar is known for his research in the control and coordination of multi-robot formations.
@Sanngot Explosives aren't heavy, presumably with improvements in technology, a similar robot can carry more weight too. You can use this as a high maneuver, autonomous missile.
The down side is the flight time. In order to gain more flight time you need to increase the battery capacity, and with that you also increase the copter weigh.
*Big salute to the teacher for acknowledging recognition of his students, giving them importance. Good leadership skill, no doubt his students excel.*

@@francoislechanceux5818 And just like you, all over the internet there are bots.
It's amazing how smart some people are. Hats off to the engineers behind this!

Yeah that's my teacher :) thumps up!
really
of course buddy i am studying what you think enter here www.coursera.com see the course aeronautics whit this teacher good luck!
Lit
thank u..
He is an Indian also
Amazing . Vijay and team has taken robotics to newer levels . I think this can be deployed in many life saving situations .
makes you ask yourself, " what am I doing with my life?"
ya thats like what i was gonna say totally
Excellent presentation Mr. Vijay Kumar and excellent work by the engineers. I am sure these technology will make impact in future in many applications where we find hard to reach.
The best thing which I loved most in this video is the way of explanation and the example of Ants.
something really amazing last few minutes were something more amazing than i ever saw
how could anyone dislike this
i just saw an article written in 1910 about what technology would be like in 100 years, and this would have literally melted the author's brain out of his head
I think they wanted that tune to be the James Bond theme, but not get hit with a copyright violation.
This was 10 years ago
Excited to know where we're at today at 2023
Epic music at the end. It kind of reminded me of the tanks from Ghost in the Shell.
The level of skill involved in making this, and making it work so well, is insane. I can't wait till these become avalible to the public to play with. Programming these to do stuff would be great project work for engineering students.
That's the only person I've seen using mathematical equations in a TED talk!

7:29 was intriguing...
Please don't edit this comment.
I am blown away now that I know drones are not just for playing only. Nature is the best inspiration.
Absolutely, absolutely amazing...
the beauty of creativity is mind blowing............all 3 of you are amazing creators.....
by far the coolest thing i have seen
and probably the most worrying...
Reminds me of NNBot from counter-strike. It was a unqiue bot program that never needed waypoints. The bots would wander around, learn the map, and get better with time.
That was mind boggling! I'd love to get hold of the algorithm for that last vid, though I know I wouldn't understand! :)
I am amazed at the mathematics of N-space and the rapidity of the calculations necessary to make robots to fly, communicate and work together. The applications of this technology has incredible dimensions that go far beyond war.
excellent demonstration of advancement in robotics !!
Seriously this is grt ..,simply ...... Hats off to their inteligence ..! !
Power of A.I.
this could be the first robot that can be useful in our real word in the future, the specialization of it was really amazing,..technology and knowledge grow fast it was spontaneously moving forward.
Mind blowing. Really great :)

I for one, welcome our new robot overlords.
+waytoomanyllamas "overloads" = "overlords"?
+BluePanther3000 Haha, my bad. I meant "overlords". Rookie mistake.
+BluePanther3000 XD
"Traceback (most recent call last): No overloads for method 'Robot()'."
waytoomanyllamas don't worry we have people like charpu.. They'll over take the robots if they have to (:
simpsons
Fantastic. The challenges of building these systems are inmense.
APPLAUSE - BEST OF LUCK SIR FOR FUTURE (GREAT TEACHER)
WOW!!!! I am totally blown away!!! really great work guys!!!
this was four years ago? jesus christ imagine what the military must have by now
3-ring binders that still brake after 50 uses.
an inexpensive iPhone
Sadly all of you are wrong:D:D
I can't wait to see the potential that these little bots possess come to fruition. Very awesome.
Terminator: the Beginning
Wov..this is sri from India...really gr8 minds...Hats Off

I saw those cooperating drones in the Tesla event recently.
"Sarah Conner?"
"Yesss"

This is one of the coolest things out this century!
ME:It was 4 years ago where is it now? huh?
INNER ME:Dropping bombs autonomously in Pakistan.
*Pakistan terrorists deserve this for humanity and peace.*

***** haahhaahahhahhahhahahaahahahhaahhahahaahah
Amazing!!!!! the music at the end was just a fantastic work...!!!! good work guys!!
proud to be an indian
He isn't
He Hindu not indian
Vijayakumar..! excellent narration..
ok...now arm these machine guns and start human hunting campaign ----SKYNET !!-+__+-!!
This person is very amazing, im spanish but im speak english
Superb. Lots of Potential. Especially for counter-terrorism purpose.
amazing work and really should appreciate their hard work in doing all these :)
Watching the performance of the robots in the end of the presentation reminds me of the 90's movie Batteries Not Included :)
Its terrific .. Outstanding efforts in bringing robotic technology to music..
The best sane and logical post in this entire thread.
Simply brilliant... a sign of things to come
This is truly marvelous. I really applaud at the people who built this robot. It reminds me of the movie Prometheus. Its just amazing and this is why i want to take up mechatronics or robotics! splendid display of technology!
Its really a great work... Hats off to Mr.Vijay kumar and his team...
Truly inspiring and great work!
Wonderful speech by Mr. Kumar, very well done indeed.
Who on earth would ever not like this!!!!! This is no geeky stuff, it's really cool.
excellent, i was working in something like that since one year
This is so beautiful.. I can't hold all these feels.
Congrats to Prof. Vijay Kuamar & the entire team!
wow this really have many useful applications..in times of disaster, natural or man made this will come in handy
That was so Awesome. The Future is Today. COOL
I could watch this video all day.
Awesome Invention.
No can beat Indian Talent :)
amazing...amazing, with great imagination one can create any thing, salute to creators..!!
I understood the concepts if not the equations. Those little bugs are quite amazing! They could us some backup singers though...
The potential these things have is unlimited.
I'm speechless.... really greatest!!
fantastic work. great effort. this is a breakthrough to a new era. excellent job, good luck to you team. simply loved it.
really awesome clip that I never had seen before. Last was end of the beautiful
@bratinsane I am an Indian and I am proud too. And I live in the US and am proud of the US. Only in America can this happen. In US you can thrive if you have the skill and talent.

12:45 Didn't we see this kind of mapping in the movie 'Prometheus' Wow!!
Awesome and this is just the start
It was incredible. I hope someday make something so awesome like this.
search drone light show
That is the same thing that came to my mind when I saw that!
Amazing, this is going to be the future.
like the mid 90's video game music at the end... brilliant lol
This is seriously awesome.
AWESOME MUSIC......! 15:00
Great Demos, Control and innovation.
I was just wondering, when he talks about 12 dimensions, is it 12 because each rotor has its own 3 dimensions to work on and so the device as a whole has (3*4=12) dimensions?
wow awesome I love people who make things like this
very impressive....hope it all doesnt go out of control..
just awsome . there's no limitation what these drones could do !!
mind blowing efforts :-) ccongrats to vijay kumar and his team
You can thank glass ceilings for that, not lack of capability. This guy is a boss whether he has that title or not.

most sensible comment on the whole issue yet.
Finally Hollywood movies are going to be real. Really super work !!!!!
Thank you for edifying us about Philip Emeagwali.
@Sanngot Explosives aren't heavy, presumably with improvements in technology, a similar robot can carry more weight too. You can use this as a high maneuver, autonomous missile.
Amazing.
It can really change our future!
7:28 calculation is greater than I thought!!
incredible technology, could be used for good and bad obv, but still is absolutely incredible
The down side is the flight time. In order to gain more flight time you need to increase the battery capacity, and with that you also increase the copter weigh.
Absolutely brilliant.
