You are the unsung heroes of the world. We need great minds like yours to move the world forward. Your work is very important to the progression of humanity. Keep pushing.
+Bill28120 there are many videos showing how they can be used beneficially without stupid stunts like so many idiots accomplish near airports and crowds. Commercial use will be tightly regulated to protect the public and assure reasonable advances. Look up "UAV uses" on TH-cam.
absolutely. I am investigating the trust into rescue robots and this example would be a great test to see whether rescue personnel would trust the robots construction and walk over the bridge! great work guys!!!!
+Bill28120 Good luck with that. Any damage to one propeller, or loss of one is instant death to the quadcopter. These things don't glide in that scenario, they drop like stones.
I saw the term 'autonomous' in the description above and I also had a look at some of the links. Can I assume the drones were pre-programmed rather than manually controlled. It seems a significant point to clarify.
+ApexMike It shows how useful drones will be, especially giving them more AI to navigate and complete set tasks. Sadly, the military will always be at the 'cutting edge', so to speak.
Cool considering that all they need to do is transport one side of a premade bridge to the other side and secure it. One human could cross and secure it even better if necessary. With special securing connections it could be even faster. Two of these bridges could fit in a relatively small pack.
+4G3NTanon All they have to do is get tangled once during the construction, then you would likely have to start whichever step it happened, over. I'm curious how long a span they could realistically construct across. The larger the span, the larger the payload, the larger the drone. The larger the drone, the less intricate maneuverability.
+isl8 If you watch the video, they come "too" close. Also, that spool ends up leaving an awkward slack. Lastly, you would have to have a near WIND-LESS environment.
once they learn how to tie proper knote we are doomed. ;D very impressive. would be interresting to see a little "how did we do it", showing some of the effort that went into it.
So how do the drones localize so quickly and accurately? I see external cameras, but there must be more than that. Can you please shed some lights? Thanks!
+Mihail Vovk For improvised bridges before a real bridge is built this is great. I think there are some heavy duty drones out there who are able to transport long cables and do that trick. It's not made for forever but as a short period, small bridge this is awesome
+Mihail Vovk they will use helicopters and spend few days doing it.. :D ....... this idea with drones is nice but only for small distances, (and for those distances it would be faster to just cut down a tree :D :D
job guy Me personally not. But there are brave people out there who do. See the rock climbers who free climb mountains to put in hooks for the people coming after them. But without any protection for themselves.
+Bram Afkari I was wondering that. Look at www.alphr.com/the-future/1001571/watch-this-drones-work-together-to-build-a-bridge and it alludes to the fact that it also needs a lot of sensors to do this, so I'd say 'yes', but not ready yet. But I suppose simple ropes fixed at both ends with sensors on them could form a 3D sensor array...
This is cool and all but it wont be a very good bridge since the drones arent cabable of making a taut bridge. This will only be a bridge good for a few uses before its completely useless.
+spoofer20 I think the purpose was clearly not to build a permanent bridge, nor does this prove that machines or drones aren't capable of such a thing. It demonstrates tiny flying things pretty quickly weaving a bridge strong enough to hold people, imagine the applications they were going for. Emergencies/rescue, travel/recreation, construction/maintenance, military, etc.
Pretty cool. I realize this is beside the point, but those scaffolds do not look very secure...dudes are lucky their body weight did not cause a scaffold to tumble.

The apparent simplicity and ease with which these drones do the work hides hours of dedication and a lot of coffee cups .
Nice job!
I, for One, Welcome Our New Drone Overlords
+Gary Rudd
I wonder who would be "the first", willing to cross a deep crevasse (canyon) on a bridge built by a drone. (no safety back-up either).
+job guy BigDog from Boston Dynamics :)
Or just use a backup.
+job guy Its not so much who built it, but does it look safe?
this would have benefited from the 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' playing in the background.
This is sick! Keep up the work...
+Sachin Ganpat haha,wanted to post the same comment.Totally sick
+Sachin Ganpat +stelios85 Robots don't get sick you clowns lol.
+Sachin Ganpat Came here to say Sick...Not "Totally SIck" which in hindsight is way better.
This is really cool, I could see this being used in rescue mission and such.

+John Smith They did a lot of bumping above just fine.
Bill28120 Well, when I race quadcopters and nick trees and stuff, at least half the propeller gone causes failure.
Congratulations! Keep your research. The world needs brains like yours.
Nice project! :D

+Geoff Wales Partially. They need a sensor net to work in.

This is amazing, and what scares people is that drones will take photos in their windows. Get a brejk, this is real value ...
Очень здорово. Молодцы!

I see what you did there.
+Alexey Filippenko Hi.
+SkyneT, you finally arrived.
Astonishing! Great job
Absolutely amazing! The sky is no longer the limit... Keep up the good work!
Amazing work!
THEY TOOK ER JERBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
derk a durrrr!
tuk e durrrrrbs!
+Henry Hazlitt broken jaw!
Cocka doodle do!!!
+Henry Hazlitt lmao! I just watched that episode last night. So good.
Fantastic! Cool engineering and programming!
i'm amazed
You just became my favorite person on youtube lol.
I want to make one suggestion; next time use little micro octocopters made to resemble spiders.
Очень хорошие пилоты !
inspiring bit of experimentation and research, great job and thanks for posting!

Fantástico!! parabéns os envolvidos
Interesting videoclip !
So much for the moat around my castle!😮😎
awesome accomplishment!
this is awesome!!!
finally seeing the potentials of drones
keep up the drone work lol
I really like that you used the term 'flying machine' rather then 'drone' :P
I usually say "RC" just to mess with people. :D
Woah! Well done!
Very cool - nice work!
amazing to see the great work
WELL DONE !
awesome work man...
Flying, mechanical spiders, wow.

The larger the span, the larger the payload, the larger the drone.
The larger the drone, the less intricate maneuverability.
+job guy Why would they get tangled if they are programmed to follow a certain path? :)
+isl8

woWWW! amazing!!! :)
Now we need a BostonDynamics robot to cross the bridge, and the rescue the very attractive calculator on the other side.
😁😃🤙
rehanging wires after a storm amazing
Incredible
Brilliant. Keep it up!
once they learn how to tie proper knote we are doomed. ;D
very impressive. would be interresting to see a little "how did we do it", showing some of the effort that went into it.
This is fantastic!

Imagine one of the blades of the drones hitting against the beams and landing on the onlooking crowd in a real scenario xD
I'd get them to make me a nice jumper.
OK, this is pretty cool!
Excellent.
AWESOME! But can they make tea?
Just Beautiful!
Excellent!
Wow so much epic, I would love to do things like this for a career,.
awesome ..n it is just glimpse of future robot's.
impressive. any outtakes?
Ну может быть когда нибудь такие роботы нам и помогут )
This is awesome.
It`s wonderful!!!!
this is so amazing!
Now what would be amazing is if you guys get Boston Dynamics' Petman or Atlas to cross that bridge!
Those propellers need some protection, otherwise wind could make the quads swing from side to side and get caught on the ropes.
Nice trick, but can you do the same outdoors without the VICON cameras?
This is amazing :D I wonder if they ever crash into the ropes :P
+adribier nope, they use sensors to detect them
So how do the drones localize so quickly and accurately? I see external cameras, but there must be more than that. Can you please shed some lights? Thanks!
AWESOME!
Awesome~!!
Impressive!
Here comes SkyNet!
COOL!!!!!😁
this is amazing
this is just awesome
Wow. Just wow.
Very good research, but in real life we can't use it. How to build bridge 50m long or 100m? How to connect steel cable?
+Mihail Vovk not now....but soon....SOOOOON MUHAHAHAHAH

Amazing.
amazing!
The way of the future.....The way of the future......The way of the future......The way....
amazing!!!
This is fucking creepy. Rise of the machines, anyone?
+meathook3000 you watch too much t.v., there's nothing creepy about this
@@LazGav google slaughter bots
The sooner we can figure out antigravity the better ;)
Already done. You just aren't allowed to know Yet. 😊
Any more work in this area?
Impressive.
Awesome! Hopefully feminists won't be bugging these men doing their job!
Woah, nice :D
Did you use custom code or something open source?
pretty awsome :)
Genious!
Reminding me of of auto repair drones in Starcraft.
Lets first send an army of quadcopters to Mars and build some colonies before we send humans!
Can this be done outside?
If the fly machines can still do it without need of the white covered fabric, this can go for production
Who would say that Drones are just "for fun"? ;-)
quick question: is this AI/Programmed or Directly controlled?

either, joysticks or computer by rc. u of Pa. has special dept for research. impressive videos on youtube.
Is this a world record
come si separano tra loro e con gli altri oggetti?

That's where humans come in. We're still good for some things... ...for now.

@@imagoatbah better than having a Slaughter Bot after you. 😊
super awesome
That is so fucking cool.
in extreme condition, we send drone to do things.
but can these drone fly without problem and swinging around doing this under Strong wind day?
Pretty cool. I realize this is beside the point, but those scaffolds do not look very secure...dudes are lucky their body weight did not cause a scaffold to tumble.
perfect video for utilizing youtube's 2.0 speed
Fantástico
If they can build a rope bridge like that, I bet they could even build a sky net of some description
Works for me
impresionante
