The nano quadrotors have been developed by KMel Robotics, but few specifics are known about their make up. The aggressive movement of the quadrotors is impressive, but it’s their ability to work autonomously and as a team that will get most people, and companies, excited.

My approch, for what it's worth, would be to give each one sensing ability and send the data back to a central CPU or CPU array for processing. You can get an ungodley amount of processor power these days. This would reduce weight and cordinate controle.

Except; I get the creapy feeling that each one is atonimus and is working in a sort of 'self aware' harmoney with it's peers to execuit one high level directive.

However it's done, it's slick.
