I was fortunately enough tonight to be able to make it out to a meetup in DC with Dr Vijay Kumar. Most of you probably know of his work from Grasp Labs at the University of Pennsylvania. They are the ones responsable for all the cool swarms of quads you see from time to time doing amazing stuff like working together to build towers and playing the theme music to James Bond.

One thing I didn't know was that a lot of the technology that ended up in our flight controllers was actually developed by the auto industry for the use of airbags. Lots of interesting info tonight.
