Vijay Kumar's Lab Combines Tango with a Quadrotor

TerraSwarm researcher  and UPenn professor Vijay Kumar and his students have combined Google's Project Tango smartphone with a quadrotor to create an autonomous drone that can navigate without assistance using only off-the-shelf parts.  By attaching Tango to the drone, the need to install additional sensors is eliminated, at least in the test environment, according to an article written for the phillysportsreport.com.
