- enneff 12y agoFascinating stuff! I wish the video links still worked. :-/
- asynchronous13 12y agoAre you sure that was the first? When I was at Georgia Tech we were doing that in 2005 :-) there's some videos online http://uav.ae.gatech.edu/wiki/uavrf/movies http://uav.ae.gatech.edu/wiki/uavrf/movies Look for GTEdge transition to or from hover in the video descriptions. (We probably weren't the first either...)
- robotresearcher 12y agoFair enough! Oh's paper claims priority :) Could be publication delay or a mistake. Same era, so the time had come for that work.
