# Autonomous Teamwork Robots The Flying GRASP Lab Quadrocopters are Frighteningly Precise By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-17 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grasp-lab-quadrocopters References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/15/quadrocopters-learn-to-build-things-when-will-humans-learn-to-f/) & [grasp.upenn.edu](http://www.grasp.upenn.edu/) They may spell the beginning of the end of mankind, but these GRASP Lab Quadrocopters are still really cool. Designed and programmed to be autonomous, these robots may sound angry, but that is really just the sound of their four whirring blades spinning as they work to construct rudimentary structures out of magnetized beams. The fact that these GRASP Lab Quadrocopters can already work in unison is no mean feat. Although the allusions to Skynet and the machines from the Matrix might abound after this revolutionary new development, no one can deny that these clever researchers have made some seriously cool machines. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Autonomous Teamwork Robots:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing robotic systems that can work together autonomously. - **Magnetized Beam Structures:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in using magnetized beams for constructing rudimentary structures. - **Whirring Blade Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in developing efficient and precise blade technology for quadrocopters. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Robotics:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the field of robotics to create advanced autonomous teamwork robots. - **Construction:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the construction industry by utilizing magnetized beams for construction purposes. - **Drone Technology:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the drone industry by improving the efficiency and precision of quadrocopters. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multidirectional Miniature Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multidirectional-miniature-robots.md) - [Bio-Inspired Transforming Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bioinspired-transforming-robot.md) - [Agile Wall-Climbing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnecko-robot.md) - [Conversation-Muting Audio Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-robot.md) - [Cutting-Edge AI Humanoid Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-world-labs.md) - [Balance Beam-Walking Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quadruped-robots.md) - [Zero-Gravity Robotic Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electrovoxel.md) - [Bug-Like Flying Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/micro-insect-robot.md) - [Air-Ground Amphibious Quadruped Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airground-amphibious-quadruped-robots.md)
