Research project from Imperial College and the Royal College of Art illustrates several ideas for drone programming, covering gesture control, emotion recognition and coding intent. The project examines the following questions:
- How can we communicate with drones in more intuitive ways?
- What if drones had a better contextual understanding of our behavior and understood our emotions?
- How can drones display intent and social behavior?
The interactions are inspired from cybernetics (Braitenberg vehicles), dance (Labanotation system), animation principles (timing, anticipation, straight ahead action), human-robot interaction and drone research as well as by the interaction between falconers and their birds of prey.
Tools: Parrot AR Drone quadcopter, Affectiva SDK, javascript, node.js
