Achieving such impressive results required a lot of hard work, testing and trial-and-error. The video below focuses on the “error” part. Enjoy the bloopers! In order to finish on a more “productive” note, […]

These robots can do pretty impressive manoeuvres that humans would have a very hard time to imitate. They fly trough free-falling hoops and small windows, they cooperate at grasping and transporting objects, they perch, and much more. Have a look at the videos below in order […]
