[Grey-Walter] [ info [ New Robot Brain Takes To The Skies

[Lluis]

 A new robot 'brain', based in part on the workings of the human inner ear, has enabled the production of the world's first small robotic helicopter that 'can see and think for itself', say Australian researchers.

The 'brain' and helicopter - called "Mantis" - was announced this week by CSIRO Complex Systems Integration.

(...)the CSIRO helicopter is the first to fly completely independent of expensive global positioning systems (GPS) guidance. Instead it uses its brain to control its balance and orientation.
