Easily one of the most intriguing robotic applications we’ve come across, Sanswire Networks has hired a team of ex-NASA scientists and engineers to develop a cellular network which relies on a sysem of robotic blimps. Designed to operate roughly 12 miles from the earth’s surface — around 60,000 feet — this network of robotic blimps could potentially provide an alternative to more costly satellite communcation services.
