A multi rotor helicopter is a flight robot which can hover, take off, fly, and land in small areas. A multi rotor helicopter is more stable and maneuverable than a general single-rotor helicopter. Recently, multi rotor helicopters are getting a lot of attention for information gathering in disaster areas. This paper deals with the observing system by multi rotor helicopters. In this system, we can fly the helicopters and obtain the data of the helicopters such as the location, the video, and so on over the Internet. Therefore, this system makes it possible to control the helicopters from distant location in the event of a natural disaster. Moreover, we apply the formation control to the helicopters, and show the effectiveness of the proposed system from experiment.
