Glad you like them! The ETV crew shot some interviews at AUVSI Unmanned Systems 2008 and we'll get those videos up as soon as we can. More to come!

"You can implement almost same capability on small microcontrollers. In that case, debugging is kind of hell." Notice the machine control experts are always Chinese, Korean, or Iranian. Hovering is old news. Now it's all about swarm organization. Why do they even bother with helicopters when they could do that swarm organization using camera dollies?

I’ll have to re-watch but very interesting…

Any idea how long until they have something viable (sense and avoid), and are ready to go for certification?

Here are their sites with more info, and contacts:

Thanks for the links ETV! :)

Happy to help!

I've been in touch with Chris Anderson, Editor in Chief of Wired Magazine. I stumbled across his DIY Drones site (www.diydrones.com) and it sounds like he might be interested in doing an interview with ETV...so stay tuned!

Bad news, the certification guidelines for sense and avoid are looking like they are out past 2015. :( (not from the guys in the segment)
