I must admit, regardless of how it was done, it is impressive!

I couldn't make it out exactly, but I think it said it "uses a 20 camera Vicon(??) system and an on board IMU for state estimation". I'd interpret that as the 20 cameras are processed off board, and the IMU is processed on board.

Can anyone with better ears make it out better?

Really really really cool!
