Photowalking tour of Stanford University

17:44 | Robert Scoble | Nov 9th, 2007 11:58pm |

This is a real treat. Stanford University’s Ian Hsu setup a tour for a fairly large group of photographers. We met Patience Young, who gave us a tour of the Rodin Statue Garden, Bernard Barryte who told us a story about the Burghers of Calais, and Gabe Hoffman and the rest of the hybrid systems lab crew who showed us their quadrotor helicopters. Add in Thomas Hawk and tons of other cool photographers who joined us for the tour and you’ll not just get a great tour of Stanford University from a unique perspective but you’ll learn some photography tips from Thomas as well.

Special thanks go to our photowalkers who contributed their photos to this video:

Meet the STARMAC robotic helicopter at Stanford

During our recent photowalking, Stanford University rolled out its STARMAC team (Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control). These are quadrotor helicopters that can fly remotely without much human assistance. Really cool research project that you’ll want to check out. Anyway, here you meet the team: Gabe Hoffmann, ...
Scoble narrowly misses a dark fate...

Determined to get the story and with no concern for his own saftey, Robert Scoble dives in with his new 5D to cover the Stanford Autonomous quadrotor helicopter. When Scoble let his guard down, just for the slightest moment, the chopper ATTACKS!
