Movie that freely manipulates Quadro Copter radio control with Kinect



About three months ago the Dynamic Systems and Control Laboratory of Zurich Institute of TechnologyMovie of Quadro Copter (helicopter with four rotor blades) showing freedom of maneuverAlthough it made public the improvement, as a result of improvement it seems that it became possible to operate with Kinect.

The previous remote control was also pretty simple, but as soon as Kinect became able to operate it, the remote control became unnecessary, and it can be operated dynamically using the body.

I am manipulating Quadro Copter with my right hand



The body rotates gently by listing the left hand



Taping the bang and hands is a sign of landing, and Quadro Copter landed in the first position.


If the application goes on like this, everything using the remote control seems to be able to move like Kinect as well.
