Quadrator Bots’ Aggressive Flying Formations

GRASP Lab’s Quadrator flying bots are back, and this time, they’ve started training them in modern warfare tactics. The result is pretty scary.

The University of Pennsylvania’s GRASP Lab, famous for those crazy quadrotors that can fly through windows and hula hoops, has been working on getting groups of the robots to fly together in formation. Just like with a formation of fighter jets, there’s a leader robot in each squad along with several follower robots. The followers have just two jobs: follow the leader, and preserve the shape of the formation.
