Record-breaking swarm of 50 quadrocopters puts on show

by Laura Domela

Residents of Linz, Austria recently saw lights in the sky. 50 of them, actually, as that’s the number of quadrotors that took to the air to perform a synchronized light show.

Called “The Cloud in the Web,” the show featured 50 AscTec Hummingbird quadrocopters all communicating via radio, programmed by a team formed from Ars Electronica Futurelab and Ascending Technologies GmbH. 50 is apparently the highest number of quadrotors that have synchronized with one another all at once, and it’s definitely the highest number we’ve ever seen.
