"I mentioned earlier that robots could take many different forms. This is a remotely controlled helicopters, yet design and testing process very similar when you have certain applications you have to first do the conceptual design if you want to flying robot to survey the environment, then you have to decide what kind of sensor you need, how much power you need, how to control it. In this particular case, controller is this box, remotely control this helicopter. And you can connect this sensor remotely to computers so that you can analyze data in your time. You have power, in this case, use gasoline. And you have to solve mechanical dynamics so that you can actually fly this safely. So all this design, simulate, test, manufacture, very common to all robotics engineers."
