MIT’s swarm of mini-helicopters leaves me in utter awe

By MARC FLORES

From left to right: Awesome mini-helicopter created at MIT, potential 3D image created by a swarm of said helicopters, and the Mona Lisa created by the miniature flying robots. Eat your hearts out, fireflies!

What could be cooler than a massive swarm of mini-helicopters equipped with LEDs to create awesome 3D images in the sky? Not a whole lot, I can tell you that much. Fireworks are likely to see a swift end if this project takes off, and here’s a video showing how and why.

    About Me

    I'm a tech blogger, though that title annoys me. For the past few years, I'd been writing for Boy Genius Report, but I am now at MobileCrunch. You can follow my True/Slant page on Twitter @Digitalia, or if you're interested in what I snack on or when I take cigarette breaks, follow my personal Twitter account @mdflores.
