I bet you had a lot of fun playing with your batteries and parts. So keep reading and keep playing.
The Latest News in Robotic Toys
The Robust Robotics Group at MIT have created a voicecopter. Here is some more info about the latest innovation on the market.
* Connected to the iPhone, or some similar device.
* A person can speak the command into the quad-copter:
"Well it looks like we are well on the way to having another hobby ruined. This will remove all fine motor skill and practice from flying."
"Wow. Just wow. I want one!"
"Am I the only one that feels this is going to decapitate a lot of people?"
"This is just sheer brilliance and I can just see something like this (without such noisy propulsion) being used in movies."
Significance of the Quad-Copter
If the quad-copter can easily understand and obey a natural voice command, it is believed that this interaction can eventually lead to innovations in robotics so that in the near future, people can be able to control robotic appliances by engaging in dialogue with them. Pretty cool!
