If LEGOs Could Fly
This project, a neutrally buoyant LEGO Mindstorms blimp, moves through a large interior space detecting distant obstacles and avoiding colliding with them by turning away. It is also aware of its relative altitude and can move up and down to avoid the ceiling or endangering spectators below with its propellers.
