A band of robotics researchers at ETH Zurich have a nimble and zippy little robot made drone that can be controlled by hand movements in front of the Xbox 360 body-scan camera, and an overhead camera.
The operator simply goes against the gaming peripherals and raises his right arm to make the drone take-off and fly about. By moving the hand, acts as the puppeteer as the pilot drone darts and dives to his tune.
If he drops his right arm, which will float Quadrokopter continue in their last safe place. To put it simply, the student claps country - the sound is picked by the microphone and the drone Kinect plops safely on the ground.
The drone is not even a flip phone with a rapid rise of the left arm. Kinect and the overhead camera duo work together to build a no-fly zone around the pilot so that the Quadrokopter not zip over and cut a decorative topiary.
The group has experimented with Quadrokopter for some years. The demo is Kinect control with natural movements of a robot. The team has also dance the robot in a coordinated and choreographed fashion, music made independently and juggle a ball. We like these guys.-->
