This lecture covers the development of interactive and environment-aware flying robots, focusing on topics such as wind prediction, autonomous flight, control strategies, challenges faced by omnidirectional drones, and advanced technologies like haptic teleoperation and on-board navigation systems. The instructor discusses the use of deep neural networks for wind prediction, the agility of flying robots in omnidirectional flight, and the control of drones in cluttered environments. The lecture also addresses the importance of physical interaction during flight and the seamless integration of drones in public airspace.
