Acrobatic Robo-Helicopter

Science Daily has a report of some recent MIT work involving robotic helicopters. The article describes it as a bird, so it may be a similar concept to NASA's new toy... What seems especially novel is the control technique, which allows even a complete beginner to pilot the helicopter. It can even do a 360-degree aileron roll -- a complex corkscrew-like maneuver.

The applications are once again extremely diverse, ranging from military recognition to the entertainment industry, for capturing fly-by scenes in movies. You can visit their research homepage for more information.
