Autonomous Mini-Copters (Manhacks)
Bringing us one more step closer to a robot takeover, this video from the GRASP labs at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrates the insane control and precision which computers can show as they control a little quad-copter.
Because of the superior speed and visualization abilities of our future robot masters flight program routines, they are able to fly with unnerving ease. There is a flippant attitude in the robo-pilot’s movements, almost arrogant. Flying sideways through a tight window and recovering instantly is as easy as grabbing a beer from the fridge for him – a trick that an experienced RC pilot might bat a .500 on.
But more than the shocking ease with which computers can fly planes, this video shows the shocking speed at which computers can take over jobs which used to be “human only.” I don’t know about you guys, but I’m building a safe house to defend against the oncoming robot attack – and I’m using my new, fully programmable Caterpillar D10N.
