Folks from the The Flying Machine Arena at the Institute for Dynamic Systems and Control ETH Zurich have successfully controlled a quadrocopter robot with gestures using Microsoft Kinect.
The flying robot is controlled by a puppeteer who waves his hands to give commands. The right hand is used to control the movements, while left hand is used to tell the robot to do a full 360-degree flip. A commanding clap tells it to sit down like a nice chap. ![icon biggrin Natural Interaction With Flying Robots Using Microsoft Kinect [VIDEO]](http://cdn.gizmocrazed.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif "Natural Interaction With Flying Robots Using Microsoft Kinect [VIDEO] science tech robots new inventions latest news"){kind=icon}
