Last month I wrote about some small quadrotor helicopters that could do some pretty incredible things that were developed by the GRASP Lab at the University of Pennsylvania.

The two engineers from University of Pennsylvania, Daniel Mellinger and Alex Kushleyev who formed KMel Robotics are at it again & this time they have their quadrotor helicopters playing the James Bond theme song!

The quadrotor helicopters aren’t being controlled by any humans and the entire performance has been programmed by the engineers. Throughout the demonstration you’ll see them play a keyboard, drums, maracas, a cymbal and custom guitar built from a couch frame.

Next I want to see the duo do something crazy but with real world implications, such as search & rescue in small confined spaces or synchronised large area surveillance so that collectively the swarm are maximising visual coverage by co-ordinating their collective viewing angles.
