Swiss engineers at ETH Zurich have used three quadcopters to autonomously build a 120 metres rope bridge, strong enough for humans to cross. The drones were built with a rope spool, capable of tightening the rope around two scaffolding structures. A total of seven metre of rope was used to build the bridge structure.
