| The Gist |
Paparazzi Television Mobot. |
Short one-slide overview. |
| Newer Paper |
How to Talk to a Papa-TV-Bot:
Interfaces for Autonomously Levitating Robots. |
Longer paper (24 pages, Prosem style), containing new ideas. |
| Older Paper |
Evolving autonomously hovering mobots. |
Shorter paper (8 pages), still very valid. |
| The Vision |
The Papa-TV-Bot. |
General audience scenario. |
| The Path |
The eight Phases: from dumb to ultra-intelligent. |
Overview over long term development. |
| The Details |
Detailed description of the eight phases. |
Specifications, current state, approach. |
| The Beginning |
An example Master's thesis proposal. |
It never became my Master's thesis. |
| The Resources |
My FFMP bookmarks collection. |
Uncommented. I am working on an update. |
| The Animations |
How they would fly. This site exists in two versions:
(1) Embedded animations.
(2) Downloadable animations. |
3D animations, made for a class project. Site (1) contains huge embedded AVI files. Some browsers don't like that. If yours crashes, just use the site (2). Same content on (1) and (2). |
| The Graphics |
|
Several examples of how a early FFMPs could look like. |
| The Prototype |
|
A first prototype, a class project. Autonomous, but not flying—I will explain why. |
| Alternative Design |
|
This is a completely different approach—highly speculative. |
| The Background (coming) |
|
I will add a section about how this all started, with my cool sketches from 23 years ago... |
| More Recent Designs (coming) |
|
I have learned a lot from the last prototype, and I have some brand new ideas! |
