sergei lupashin commented on healthyfatboy's blog post Fotokite Phi Tethered Quadrotor on IndieGoGo
"Thanks for posting this! @Dax - the Fotokite is quite different from CyPhy stuff (apart from the price) in that we don't use GPS or have dependency on RF-based control. What happens is the tether is kept taut and the tension force is used as the…"

sergei lupashin commented on Johann van de Venter's blog post The astounding athletic power of quadcopters on TED
"Just FYI, while the frame+ESC+motors are AscTec, the rest is not. The quads in this video have custom central electronics + wireless developed at ETH Zurich."

sergei lupashin commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Update on Fotokite, the tethered cameracopter
"Thanks for the shotout @Chris! @Jack I'd say the closer parallel to what we're up to is the work done around 110 years ago. But I'm getting ahead of myself!"

sergei lupashin commented on Chris Anderson's blog post "Fotokite" -- camera drone on a leash
"We can't discuss details of our technology here, sorry. Much of it is patent-pending. Fundamentals that were done as research, as indeed funded by the Swiss taxpayers, will be published in the coming months."

"Nice article. But Thomas, if I were the author of this article, I definitely wouldn't appreciate someone re-posting its entire text on their website (especially since it's open access to begin with). Same applies to many articles posted here."

"Cool site. You might want to say "I'm looking for" instead of "I'm searching" on the front page :-) (or at least "I'm searching for.."). You need that "for", unlike in Russian :-)
If you can systematize user-generate experimental data (voltage +…"

"@Britt, FYI, "ETH Zurich" and "University of Zurich" are two completely separate entities. The PX4 was developed at ETH Zurich (www.ethz.ch) -- see, in fact, the address of the pixhawk website: https://pixhawk.ethz.ch/
Interesting interview, though,…"
