Georgia Tech Researchers Build Autonomous Quadcopters and Face-Detecting Blimps

Georgia Tech Researchers Build Autonomous Quadcopters and Face-Detecting Blimps

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have developed new free-flying robots that follow the two rules of the air — don’t undercut or collide with each other. In addition to these robots, the researchers have also developed autonomous blimps that can detect faces and recognize hand gestures.
