At the ETH Flying Machine Arena in Switzerland, researchers are
figuring out all-new ways for robots to play "catch." These
quatrocopters are paired with a motion-sensing camera above, and
some complex computer software that allows them to predict the
ball's trajectory for accurate bouncing. What's most interesting
is not that the helicopters can sense the ball's movement, but
react appropriately — that it can bounce the ball back to its
opponent — meaning that robots in the future could be less
jarring and more intelligent with their movements. If you’re
