We are looking for ways to make interaction with our vehicles natural and intuitive. With this in mind we implemented a demo for fast, dynamic interaction with a quadrotor vehicle using the Kinect in the Flying Machine Arena.

This demo is the result of a ETH Zurich Bachelor Thesis by Armin Ambühl, supervised by Sergei Lupashin and Raffaello D'Andrea

  • There was something wrong between the second 0:28 and 0:29 in the device?

  • @pedrocfg Good eye, we didn't render that frame... joking. :-) The landing routine right now is set to be quite precise but unfortunately takes a few seconds, so we cut 4 seconds out to keep the video short. By the way, for anyone keeping track: this is Charlie. The piano video features Echo. The rackets are Bravo and Delta. Dancing videos released so far have been Charlie+Echo+Foxtrot.
