Funny quadrocopter experiments at the Swiss Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control

December 26, 2010 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

“Echo” is one of the quadrocopters at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology’s Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control. Researchers put a piano in their Flying Machine Arena so Echo could play “Jingle Bells.”

High-performance flight, fast-changing flight maneuvers are some of the topics researched by the IDSC, using the quadrocopters.
Watch some videos showing this funny research.
