From the Ted Talk by Raffaello D'Andrea: The astounding athletic power of quadcopters
Unscramble the Blue Letters
(Applause)
Machines can not only perform dynamic maneuvers on their own, they can do it collectively. These three qadus are cooperatively carrying a sky net.
(Applause)
(Applause ends)
They perform an eeerxtlmy dynamic and collective mneveuar to launch the ball back to me. Notice that, at full extension, these quads are vertical.
(alppsuae)
In fact, when fully extended, this is roughly five times greater than what a bungee jpeumr feels at the end of their launch.
The aghlmiotrs to do this are very similar to what the single quad used to hit the ball back to me. Mathematical models are used to continuously re-plan a ciotpeovare strategy 50 times per second.

Original Text
(Applause)
Machines can not only perform dynamic maneuvers on their own, they can do it collectively. These three quads are cooperatively carrying a sky net.
(Applause)
(Applause ends)
They perform an extremely dynamic and collective maneuver to launch the ball back to me. Notice that, at full extension, these quads are vertical.
(Applause)
In fact, when fully extended, this is roughly five times greater than what a bungee jumper feels at the end of their launch.
The algorithms to do this are very similar to what the single quad used to hit the ball back to me. Mathematical models are used to continuously re-plan a cooperative strategy 50 times per second.
