Aggressive Maneuvers for Autonomous Quadrotor Flight
Control of precise aggressive maneuvers with an autonomous quadrotor helicopter. This is a small autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Demonstrations of flips, flight through windows, and quadrotor perching are shown. Work done at the GRASP Lab, University of Pennsylvania.

That's it. I want 20 of these. NOW.
Genuinely amazing. I fear when these are just hand held without all the cameras and/or have weapons attached.
Such incredible results makes me want to study robotics even more! Thanks for documenting it so well!

Just imagine how many got smashed before they got here.
over 4 years ago? I would love to see you you guys are doing now! keep it up that was fun to watch!
first it was the insects, then the dinosaurs, then the birds, then the bats, man has flown with technological appendages, and now its robots of various type acting autonomously... thing about it.. some revolutionary things are happening today, some very significant milestones in evolutionary history.
Just a word for u guys, this kind of precise maneuver needs expensive cameras to feedback it's motion, so u can't operate it outside, at least not like this.

Everyone gets that buddy... did you know some of the first flight controllers measured temperature differences from the sky and ground to stay level? Now look at them... If you don't start somewhere, you will not get anywhere.

Lion Silver Yeah. You are right.
I have never seen one of these before, but it is the coolest thing I have ever seen.
I wish I could like this twice, great job to all the hard working engineers out there who made this possible.

This must be one of the coolest thing ive ever seen!
As a software engineer, this really is cool to watch and know how hard this is. Very nicely done!!
I can't stop watching this video. Its just that cool.
This is serious business! Amazing control.
MY God, the possibilities are endless. Rescue, military, humanitarian, the list is endless. It could be the flying car we all dream of. Amazing!! The movements are dragon fly-like!!!
@YezdiRK The cameras with red lights are a motion capture system that utilize the white reflective balls on the quadrotor to calculate its position.
This must have cost a fortune in destructive testing to perfect, very skilled developers and amazing results.
This is the coolest freaking thing I've ever seen. AWESOME!!
this is awesome... i just saw a video with a robot stabilizing itself on rough terrain and another small four legged robot learning how to deal with different terrains... it all looks so sci-fi
Man, you are automatically and permanently my farourite person in the world!
that is fucking awesome. The sound and motion it makes as it starts to move is epic.
I need a few to follow my wife around for her hot flashes so the aircon doesn't have to be on max cold all day. But seriously, awesome stuff you guys are doing.
Dear Vijay and other member of project team. excellent application and demonstration! hoping to see these in action soon!!
Well done Mr. Freeman
This is so cool! I'd deploy a dozen of these guys around the house for surveillance units!
amazing precision and flight control.
Cool! I have heard of GRASP lab. before. Sounds it is a quadrotor lab. Dr. Vijay Kumar came to the CCC2014, nanjing, China.That was my first time to see him! Pity to not to take a photo with him. I'm a postgraduate student, also study the quadrotor, like Inertial Navigation System and its Control System. Long way to go!
I have a fair amount of experience with control systems... and trust me, this is massively impressive.
this is the best thing i have ever seen. ever.
Saw this on TED... amazing stuff.
Incredible control pretty amazing
GAH, this is just so awesome and mesmerizing to me.
Oohhh! Sweet! Well done, guys!
Seriously cool tech. Well done.
wow. very impressive control. there goes the neighborhood.
This is really cool stuff, keep it up guys.
whether this vid scares you or amazes you defines you as a person.
dude that thing looks so sweet and goes relly fast by the looks of it. i want one!!!
@davidthefat Yes, it is connected via XBee to an outside computer that communicates with the camera system.
serious elite docking skills
They're Velcro pads as described on the clip by the narrator. Also the motors shut down when they land must be magic updraft.

Dmitry Bushev yeah but they only can achieve this in door with 20 cams the achievement doing this outdoor realky
Holy Cow! This Guys Rocks!
Its computer-controlled. See the red spotlights, the wireframe web, the white marks in the floor and the cameras around to help the computer to positionate the dispositive in the airspace and to manobrate... very nice!!!
Autonomous robot with those capabilities... that's amazing!
@alexistarr That's the first thing I thought of aswell! Simply awesome Gentlemen, I salute you! Man how I wish I could work on these things...
That is super impressive.
This is so awesome!!! Now, I want one. Forget the next iPhone 5, most likely it wont even make calls at all (hehe). I'm saving money for a quad!!
WOW! this is really great stuff!
agreed, these quadrotors will be used to deliver disaster relief in areas that would otherwise be inaccesible and is being used to film movies like skyfall and loads of tv production companies use them because they're a lot safer than flying a huge helicopter just to get an aerial shot.
Probably the most incredible UAV video I have seen, seriously you guys should be really proud. Looks like 38 Flys didn't appreciate you steeling their tricks! ;)
Girls will never know why this is so awesome.
Dude! This is awesome
great work that must of had some quite stressing time.
This is simply amazing work guys, thanks for sharing.
Those things are super cool!!
The best quadrotors around.
@cakefarts I think the point is that it can land on a wall. The velcro is just an easy way to show that fact. You're thinking awfully small if you think that's the only adhesive they can apply. This thing has a long way to go before it's ready for any real world applications, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. One step at a time.
@tvfan1563 it is a UAV, and UAV's fly autonomously, so I assume it's not hard to control. Amazing work.
@XDPete I didn't go to Penn State, I study engineering at another college in Europe. But I can tell you that most of the things that you will need you can learn there. It always helps having the basic physics & maths down, they WILL make your life a lot easier. But you can always catch up these things with a little willpower and can easily be better at this than 99 % of the guys that study there.
Crazy control, prop's to the guy on the sticks!
That...is...incredible.
This remain me the movie..."Batteries not included" Amazing !!!!!
The next step in evolution for the UAV is giving it the task of searching independently for a power source in an urban landscape. The skill to recognize and technology to access available power sockets allows the UAV to survive past the 10-minute battery life and explore the environment deeper...
@FPVFLIGHTSCHOOL 15 minute solution for now: Velcro. The motors do not reverse, they are fixed pitch.
Good work from UP
@catpowerd Thanks for the laugh. Skynet was the first thing that came to mind.
They were probably accidents. This is by far some of the most advanced robotics I've ever seen.
If those maneuvers could be performed using onboard sensors/processing ... scary awesome.
Very impressive i can saw applications for this type of model in many ways. more along the lines of army tactical maneuvers. such inventions give us one step more into what can be done =) Thanks
I do not find appropriate words to express my astonishment to see this amazing maneuvers achieved by Quadrocopter robotics ! I belive any human being just can not do it ! only machine....
This is far too awesome. I mean... Damn.
That thing is pretty epic.
@rmulr842 With those rotors, it's the quad that does the blending :)
amazing, very impressive, I really liked
@Finnishiam You dont need it to carry firearm. But instead it could be a pointer / targeter or however they are called. Verify and identify targets from close and then as a guidance for the big guys from above!
Amazing! Nice work guys!
The noise the make when they level out is scary as hell. Manhacks IRL.
@sobman depending on production costs, use as little pilot-able bombs. if you can muffle the sound of the rotors somehow, attach a camera and use for recon/scouting/spying. if the chassis can support it, attach a small firearm for assassination missions.
I can see thousands of palm-sized robots swarming out of their governmetal hive cluster when they receive the "Find person X Y" command. A bit scary and the same time totally awesome vision.
GPS and Visual mapping "Cruise" technology used with this machine gives many possibilities
Amazing!!!! The Military and Law Enforcement apps for this can amazing!
The transfer from "fast" flight to station holding overshoots like crazy... I think their controller is tuned for fast flying, and whatever parameters are there to tune it are inadequate when it needs to lose momentum.
@dagobb It was already imagined in the mid 80s. It was called Skynet, from the Terminator movies ;)
Two words, freaking sweet.
@taergehtekim In this video the quadrotor knows the location and orientation of the window from the motion capture system.
that's very cool. congrats.
Man you are sick!!!! If you give this thing a brain to control itself and a self learnig system, imagine that.!!! we are in pretty bad hands. You're genious!!!
Simply awesome
:) That is a VERY good point. It's more for proof of concept. If they would be pushing to stick to something upside down, it would be better to just hover anyway. Perhaps a magnet? and strong enough motors to breakaway.
holy crap i would love to take a look at the control scheme for this
love how it kind of throws itself into the wall when perching
@cakefarts Why not? You could install the lights in your building or massive underground bunker or whatever.
It seems to me that, even if this is the 'best possible representation', (which I don't think it is, get an RC master to see what really happens!) It still looks swell. I love the angry 'killer bee' sound when the down velocity rotors suddenly compensate and stabilize!
This thing has some serious potential, imagine telling this thing to run in and check a burning building for survivors, or to sneak into a room full of crime lords and run around in circles taking pictures before they can do anything. Just tape a search warrant to it, and have it drop it in the room on it's way in.
Absolute Awesomeness
That's incredible
amazing maneuvering. Imagine that on a big scale.
@kubarebo Makes sense. No matter how impressive a technology is, cost will always have the final say in determining its practical value.
@baekalfen You are quite correct, I realised/ researched/ remembered that after my post. :-)
@mydrok1 Yes, it does say that it is Velcro - 0:56
