See nano quadcopter robots swarm (video) | Cutting Edge - CNET News

In the future, a swarm of flying robots may do the work now done by human search teams.

A robotics research team at the University of Pennsylvania has designed a system to coordinate a number of small quadcopters, a step toward coordinating multiple robots for tasks such as surveillance or searching areas after a disaster.

The General Robotics, Automation, Sensing, and Perception (GRASP) lab at UPenn yesterday posted a video on You Tube with nano quadcopters showing remarkable agility and the ability to perform as a team.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I want you to be aware of a special touring display that will be on the CCC-Columbus campus on Thursday, November 3, 2011.

Central Community College, Drive for Five, and FESTO Corporation are working together to provide a showcase of industrial automation equipment for middle school and high school students and their teachers as well as individuals from business & industry.

FESTO Corporation, a partner of Central Community College’s Mechatronics program, will be bringing its Mobile Mechatronics Laboratory (MML) to Columbus on Thursday November 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The MML is on a climate-controlled, expandable semi-trailer which is equipped with some of the latest technology and equipment used for industrial automation. Middle schools and high schools will be able to schedule a tour of the Mobile Mechatronics Laboratory as well as the CCC drafting, electronics, machine tool, mechatronics, and welding programs.

Members of business and industry are also welcome and invited to view this equipment anytime during the day. The MML is on tour across the United States, and Columbus is fortunate to be one of the stops. You can learn more about the MML at www.festo.com/cms/en-us_us/10387.htm.

Tony,

Can you get this in the hands of your educators and counselors for the State of Nebraska? We want to get it in the hands of the seniors ASAP so we can start building a pipeline. Last year we only had one candidate and GPA was an issue.

The candidates do not have to be Omaha kids. The kids can go to other community colleges but we prefer Milford because their programs are very strong for Machine Tool and Die.

Thanks for getting the word out about us and this education opportunity.
