Autonomous Flying Robots beyond Multi-Copters
Symposium presented by ETH Zurich
After their first take-off in Switzerland around 12 years ago, electric powered quadrotors and multi-copters have become a highly desired toy and professional tool for many applications. This event will focus on the development of flying robots at ETH Zurich together with its partners, the two industrial key players from the Silicon Valley. It will feature a technological overview of the visions from 3D Robotics and GoPro and highlight work from ETH Zurich’s research laboratories and spin-offs in the field. Advanced autonomous flying robots using various ways to overcome gravity will be presented, starting from well-known multi-copters and hybrids all the way to blimps, autonomous solar airplanes and vehicles that can fly on walls.
