What do you get when you merge a Kinect sensor and a quadcopter? The answer is, awesomeness! Unlike it's cousin, CrazyFlie, this robot is controlled via hand and arm movement using the Kinect. The way it works is that the Kinect tracks the human's movements and then converts them to the robot's movement. This robot is even capable of flipping and swirling in mid-air, and it can land with the clap of a hand. Just like playing a game with Kinect, this robot requires light. All together, I think that this kind of control will bump up robotics to the next level. Thanks for reading and please feel free to comment below!
