Now, I don't propose to sit on a flagpole or swallow goldfish. I'm not a stunt man. I'm a flyer.

to receive a prize from the university, and three days later, a pilot was flying over the landscape and found this thing.

The co pilot was a lady called Monica.

So the question is, how can you carry a pilot around the world with an airplane that uses the same amount of energy as a big Christmas tree?

Father Hussman. Oh, you were such a bad flyer.

And a guy named Stan Reznikov did this as a pilot.

He was a bomber pilot.

He probably became homesick.

So the robot is obviously capable of executing any curve trajectory.

He's one of the best flyers in the country.

He's a pilot. He's in the hospital. He's very badly wounded.

In fact, many of these vehicles are operated by flight crews that can include multiple pilots, operators of sensors and mission coordinators.

A flight simulator

You mean that young aviator?

I'm a damn good pilot. Period!

So one difficulty is how do you coordinate lots of these robots?

Boat from the Sandival's out to pick up that flier.

A Ghana Airways pilot falls into the same predicament.

I've kept that stupid pilot on my payroll for years, just for a spot like this.

And in the first video, you'll see the robot going from point A to point B through an intermediate point.

Our cameraman, who it turned out was a pretty nervous flyer at the best of times, actually asked the pilot, before we got on the plane, how long this flight would take, and the pilot Russian pilot completely deadpan, replied, Six hours if we live.

See them off!

We have to fly at a special incline in order to make the measurements.

I was like him.

Kitami.

They'll hit us soon with their carriers. Wait!

Tanigawa! Any contact?

Angeline wants to be a pilot so she can fly around the world and make a difference.

The narrator's only appeased when he draws a box.

(b) It will be an unmanned vehicle

This is the world there won't be you as a pilot. And I know the pilots in the audience aren't going to like that and I've had a lot of bad feedback from people who want to be up there, flying around and experiencing that.

So when we have a robot which is surrounded by neighbors and let's look at robot I and robot J what we want the robots to do is to monitor the separation between them as they fly in formation.

We are the first aviators to makea the race from London to Paris.

A woman.

Tanigawa. Yes, sir?

So what I want to show you next is a video of 20 of these little robots flying in formation.

They re one of the first subsea aviators.

My dream is to become a pilot.

A Brit worked in there after that woman killed herself.

They travel at exactly the same time with the same winds to make the crossing. I know they travel at the same altitude.

So one fundamental problem that the robots have to solve if they're to be autonomous is essentially figuring out how to get from point A to point B.

He's going to be the maddest pilot in the United States Navy.

I'm a cousin and a pilot, so be it. By no means, I'll be an upholsterer.

Warn the aircraft crew.

Pilots!
