A news article about Melanie Anderson’s (UW) Smellicopter project. My contribution was the idea of using a fin to passively point the quadcopter upwind instead of trying to use sensors to detect the direction of wind and then actively turn towards the wind. Go Melanie!
My collaborative input was made possible by an Air Force Center of Excellence (“NIFTI”) grant that involves: U Washington, U Maryland, UC Boulder, Johns Hopkins U, Carnegie-Mellon U, Case-Western Reserve U.
