The flying cubes: project kick off

It's official. Nicolas Reeves (NXI Gestatio design lab at UQAM) hired me to take care of the engineering part of an exciting research project in arts and technology. And Art&D project!
The goal is to design and implement a society of floating cubes, embedding a PDA-size computer with wireless capabilities, engines, batteries, sensors, that are able to move around, avoid obstacles, get together, serve as a floating 3D screen for videoprojections from the ground. No less, no more. Attached is a picture of our homemade workbench, and the first batch of beams we made.
