Drones Featured in Interactive TED Talk
Raffaello D’Andrea develops flying machines, and his latest projects are pushing the boundaries of autonomous flight — from a flying wing that can hover and recover from disturbance to an eight-propeller craft that’s ambivalent to orientation — to a swarm of tiny coordinated micro-quadcopters.
Prepare to be dazzled by a dreamy, swirling array of flying machines as they dance like fireflies above the TED stage.
