Recently I came across a very interesting article concerning a new, and very interesting take on aerial-robotics. The company called Aeryon Labs has developed what looks to be a flying camera called an Aeryon Scout. The camera is just the centerpiece of what looks like four round pieces of foam used to float in a swimming pool. The four foam rings are interconnected and each is 30cm in diameter. There is a rotor inside and a camera is hidden inside. A remote control operates a “quad-rotor” and navigates the camera. This allows for the Aeryon Scout to reach high angles that shooters can not. The idea behind the project is to help police, military and engineers. May be one day, we will all be able to purchase an Aeryon Scout at a local retailer? Only time will tell…
