Robotic helicopter
Robotic helicopter with an onboard computer (metal box, lower centre) for its autopilot program. The leads link to servo-mechanisms that the computer uses to fly the helicopter. This helicopter was developed at MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), USA. It comprises a radio-controlled minicopter that was modified with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver, an altimeter, a compass and an array of inertial sensors. These relayed data about test flights flown by remote control. The data was used to simulate the flights and write the autopilot software. It performed the first-ever autonomous axial roll in November 2001. Planned uses include filming and military uses

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking achievement in the field of robotics - a robotic helicopter developed at MIT, USA. The image captures the essence of technological innovation with its depiction of an onboard computer, housed within a sturdy metal box positioned in the lower center of the aircraft. This computer serves as the autopilot program for the helicopter, controlling its flight through servo-mechanisms connected to various components. The modified minicopter boasts an impressive array of advanced features including a GPS receiver, altimeter, compass, and inertial sensors. These instruments collect data during test flights conducted remotely via radio control. This invaluable information is then utilized to simulate flights and write autonomous software for the helicopter's autopilot system. In November 2001, this remarkable creation achieved a significant milestone by successfully executing the first-ever autonomous axial roll. Such groundbreaking accomplishments pave the way for potential applications in diverse fields such as filming and military operations. This print from Science Photo Library encapsulates America's pioneering spirit in aviation technology and highlights MIT's expertise in research and development. The image symbolizes progress in mechanical automation and unmanned aerial systems while hinting at future possibilities that lie ahead for this cutting-edge robotic craft.
