The Robotics Institute at CMU has an autonomous helicopter project
underway. We have had good results so far and we will soon be moving
up from small gas and electric models to a large machine that can
lift > 100 pounds. Possible applications (besides the obvious
military ones) include aerial surveying, crop dusting, construction,
surveillance and anything else you can think of...
