Explore contentIn a robot lab at TEDGlobal, Raffaello D'Andrea demos his flying quadcopters: robots that think like athletes, solving physical problems with algorithms that help them learn. In a series of nifty demos, D'Andrea show drones that play catch, balance and make decisions together -- and watch out for an I-want-this-now demo of Kinect-controlled quads.

Explore contentHubble observations provide evidence for an intermediate-mass black hole hidden inside the massive globular cluster Omega Centauri. Credit: ESA/Hubble (M. Kornmesser & L. L. Christensen), R. Gendler
Explore contentHubble captures interacting and merging galaxies, showing how gravitational encounters distort their shapes and trigger intense star formation. Credit: ESA/Hubble (M. Kornmesser & L. L. Christensen)
Explore contentThe first Eyes on the Skies special reviews how telescopes transformed humanity's view of the heavens and opened new windows on the Universe. Credit: ESA/Hubble (M. Kornmesser & L. L. Christensen)
Explore contentThis demo -- from Pattie Maes' lab at MIT, spearheaded by Pranav Mistry -- was the buzz of TED. It's a wearable device with a projector that paves the way for profound interaction with our environment. Imagine "Minority Report" and then some.
