Voice controlled quad-copter
March 18, 2010
Check out that modified quad-copter that is controlled using voice commands - yes, the same voice you use to ensure your pooch stays off the sofa or leaves your shoes alone can be used to puppet that robot any way you like. Responding to natural language, you can just casually mention, "take off and fly forward six feet” instead of using a cryptic command set. In the demonstration, it uses an iPhone and a headset as the input microphone, where the language will be parsed by the software before sending by the resulting commands sent to the four-rotor copter.

Sony just launched a new series of PC headphones spearheaded by the Sony DR-350USB (in photo the above). It is available in Gold, Black and Red and has a built-in Microphone and comes with a little remote that controls the volume and offers a Mute option, which is always a good thing, when in conference calls! Anyhow, what we like is the design of the headphone, even whether we don't know whether it is comfortable or whether the sound is good -- for now. Product page (Sony Asia) – that is not yet available for retail at SonyStyle.com, so the retail price is unknown.
