TAKING FLIGHT Flying Swarms: Designing, Constructing and Programming Autonomous Robotic Blimps was one of 36 “distinct, innovation-driven” projects in Lehigh’s 10-week Mountaintop Summer Experience. Now in its 10th year, the Mountaintop Summer Experience has grown dramatically since its inception, featuring 180 students and 25 faculty members last summer. The Flying Swarms project team, which included Alex Witt ’23, DJ Ammirato ’23, Karen Li ’24 and Michael Fitzgerald ’23, aims to use low-cost autonomous aerial robots that can make an impact throughout the world, including to transport life-saving supplies to remote areas.
