A swarm of autonomous tiny flying robots - Robohub
WEBNov 4, 2019 · A group or a swarm of them should be ideal to cover as much ground as possible. The price of fully autonomous MAVs usually comes with the cost of weight and size. This is problematic in green- and warehouses in particular, as many of us would not be comfortable working with 3 kilo MAVs flying over our heads. Guus Schoonewille, TU Delft.
