TEDGlobal 2013
Raffaello D’Andrea gave a talk entitled “The astounding athletic power of quadcopters”, which was filmed live in front of an audience on June 10th, 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He used the Flying Machine Arena (FMA) and the quadcopters to expound upon the idea of “machine athleticism”, and in the process demonstrated some never-before-seen capabilities of quadcopters. After the filming, the Flying Machine Arena was made available for the conference attendees to interact with.
