"Imagine letting loose a swarm of quadrotors in a large building and having a complete map and textured 3D model of the interior and exterior within just a few hours." This reminds me of: "I’ve long been interested in Navicubes, which is what I call a small and not-quite-here yet $5 box that always knows where it is, which direction it is facing, and which way is up.
