Amazing what you can do with computers....! "Autonomous Quadcopters"

[Tom]

If I ever see one of these following me, I'm going to be very afraid.
Still, you've got to admire the boffins who've developed them...

They do look fun, though the autonomous part sounds spooky. I think these are the same people who do a demonstration where a dozen or so quads fly, not so much in formation, but more like a shoal, hehe.

There is a commercial kit with camera and Wi-Fi arriving soon if anyone is interested http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2010/07/18/parrot-ar-drone-review/1 O_O
