February 19, 2016 Today’s TED Talk Meet the dazzling flying machines of the future 11:35 minutes · TED2016 When you hear the word "drone," you probably think of something either very useful or very scary. But could they have aesthetic value? Autonomous systems expert 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.

Stan:

Thanks for posting that. It gives me hope that I won't turn into Mr. Wilson grousing at Dennis to "get off the lawn."
