Just when we thought that Parrot's iPhone-controlled airship couldn't
be any more of a blast, a gentleman named Psykokwak (yes, really) has
been hard at work on an implementation of the URBI (Universal Robot
Body Interface) for the AR.Drone. And what's more, he's gone and
written a twenty-five line script that lets the thing to pick out --
and shadow -- a red rubber ball. Pretty awesome, right? You'll need an
AR.Drone of course, as well as a computer (clients are available for
PC, Linux, and Mac), the interface of your choice (joystick, keyboard,
whatever) and of course -- for the current demonstration -- a red
rubber ball. For the technical nitty gritty, check out the links
below. But before you do make sure you peep the demonstration video
after the break.
