Rotomotion demonstrated multiple aerial manuvers in 25 knot winds with gusts over 30 knots at the Unmanned Systems 2008 UK show. Look here for more info.
R3.4 Software has been demonstated flying with long tethered payloads. Part of this specific demonstration utilized a 75 feet long tether with 1.5lb air samplers at 25ft, 50ft and 75ft. Look here for more info and pictures.
Rotomotion designs, manufactures and operates helicopter robots (a.k.a. UAV) and aerial robotic systems and components. Rotomotion systems are designed to be affordable aerial platforms for small cameras and other sensor payloads. Helicopter robots have numerous advantages in many areas:
Surveillance day or night, hazardous environments
Research programming interface for UAV integration
Rotomotion currently offers three UAV helicopter systems:
SR200 VTOL UAV up to 20kg / 50 lbs of payload capacity - optional motion controlled camera/video pan/tilt platform, generator and fuselage
SR100 VTOL UAV up to 8kg / 20 lbs of payload capacity - optional motion controlled camera/video platform, and generator, with several power plant configurations available.
