This video premiered at the TED2012 Conference in Long Beach, California on 29th February 2012.
Deputy Dean for Education and GRASP lab member Vijay Kumar presented some of this groundbreaking work at the TED2012 conference - an international gathering of people and ideas from technology, entertainment, and design.
The acronym GRASP of GRASP Lab stands for ''General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception''.
Flying robot quadrotors performed the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame.
The quadrotors play this "couch guitar" by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame and plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor.
