www.avinteractive.com: A huge spaceship hovered over the River Thames in London last week as 552 drones carried out an aerial display to promote the launch of Samsung’s Galaxy S24 series.
The phone series launch also marks the arrival of advanced mobile Galaxy AI technology.

I think drone shows are a true feat of modern engineering and represent a step forward in the way that we control lights. The process of creating a show like this seems very interesting to me. The article did cite the 650 hours that it took to design this performance, which presumably means that the show is entirely pre-programmed. Related to that, I wonder how much control they have while the performance is actually happening. Do they need to respond to wind gusts or other atmospheric effects? Do they have the ability to safely pull a drone out of formation if it breaks? How much monitoring do they have of the health of each drone?
My big questions in terms of the programming of the show are what kinds of algorithms need to be written to ensure that there are no collisions in mid-air, and what the maximum speed of the drones is. The biggest place I saw this ladder point was with the rotating phone. For the large phone to rotate as quickly as it was, the drones farther away from the pivot point must have been moving at very high speeds.
I have always dreamed of seeing a drone show of this scale or larger and reading this article was very interesting. This is a very unique and modern way of marketing and I applaud Samsung for thinking of this and executing it well. Ironically, this took place in London, especially after I read an article last week about how plans for building a sphere in London were shut down. It was striking to learn that the show took 650 hours of designing and programming to execute. A question that I have after reading the article is how they test the code. Is there a three-dimensional simulation that they run or do they fully test it on the drones? If they do test it, where do they do it where people won’t see it? Overall, I applaud Samsung and I applaud Celestial for their outstanding work.
