Mantrid's drones became real

Autonomous flying drones build up a structure.

There is a german article with an english video:

It's amazing how some of the most visionary ideas of scifi become real within a few decades.

If only Mantrid could see this! :cry:

omfg :) Imagine these on the battlefield. That'd be a dangerous weapon.

Awesome. Now all we need is for Dieter Laser to control them with his mind.

That is quite impressive. Sounds like a swarm of bees ;)

Thank you, Gehirn, for this info, I already translated it in my new sci-fi site in bulgarian :) Would post a link, but it's in bulgarian anyway, besides it's not quite done yet.

BTW, besides Mantrid-Drones, can anyone think of an analogy of these quadrocopters in another sci-fi show?

This is really quite interesing. It seems like a kind of swarm intelligence, knowing where each other are, what they are doing and figuring out how to interace with each other.
I'm studying machine intelligence/learning at Uni, this might be a good subject to write about. :)

Command: Go to kitchen, get beverge, come back.
Or maybe own 1 million. World Domination here I come. :P
