Micro-flying UAV Maps the Halls (and other indoor, GPS restricted places)
Yes it comes from MIT -specifically, the Robust Robotics Group at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The mini buzzing quadcopter carries an array of sensors and scanners (including a camera and laser rangefinder) allowing it to explore and map without GPS or IMUs. It’s smarter than a Roomba and could be described as the aerial version of PenBay’s floor-based mappers.
