    In a robot lab at TEDGlobal, Raffaello D'Andrea demos his flying quadcopters: robots that think like athletes, solving physical problems with algorithms that help them learn. In a series of nifty demos, D'Andrea show drones that play catch, balance and make decisions together -- and watch out for an I-want-this-now demo of Kinect-controlled quads.

    Revisiting this in 2022 and I can still say this is absolutely incredible. I am now a master's student specializing in control systems and my lab especially work with drones but what they are doing in this video still feels far-fetched for my current capabilities. The algorithms they are running onboard is truly remarkable. I am really interested in how they derived the mathematical model of the dynamic system so as to manipulate the drones to do what they want (system identification or physics first principles?). Also, as he said at the end about the students to look out for them, I at least know about one of them, Dario Brescianini who went on to create Omnicopter. This is extremely inspiring as a control engineering student. Thank you so much!

      @@MachineManGabb FPV drones are just big boy toys and are already considered old tech. The only reason they're so popular now is because the technology has existed long enough to be affordable. You can get a 4k FPV drone with a couple hundred dollars. That's why you see them in a lot of practical applications now. There are enough pilots out there to support an actual industry. The reality is that those pilots were bred out of a good software and technology. The flight controllers got better, dropping the skill gap overall needed to be a pilot. Now, anyone can be a pro FPV racer because the flight controller technology has evolved by a huge magnitude since when this video was made. The tech is getting better, not the pilots.
      Today, the real bleeding edge of Drone tech is swarm technology. This same research group already proved that with their last and most recent presentation. Using multiple drones in cooperation to fulfill complicated tasks. There are start ups out there trying to use drone swarms to replace pilots for the cartographic and general surveying they were doing before. There are already two large special events firms using drone swarms to replace conventional fireworks.
      The human pilot is obsolete technology, unfortunately.

I said screw it all I understand the theory and started looking at building. Now I've got a few built that died and one on the bench and now bind and fly's are cheap and seem to be the way to go over building. Finally decide to go the bind and fly route and I see now the whoop class drones are the big thing. Boy time really does fly like crazy once you hit 35+.

    If you don't have a degree in computer science:
    An Algorithm is almost like a function which includes instructions on how to behave. This "algorithm" can be called when a certain criteria is detected to produce a desired output. In this case, the output takes form of the quadcopter's reaction by stabilizing itself.
    Anyone else please feel free to correct me, just trying to offer some fleeting insight.

      In this case, it is a process of solving a problem by breaking the problem down(stability) into chunks and tackling them one after the other

      This works by having several cameras up in the ceiling and some fairly powerful computers doing the visual processing.
      You can see several Kinects and HD cameras up in the rafters.
      The balls on the drones are reference points for the cameras so the computer can see the orientation of each quadcopter.
