Science Nation - Mind-controlled quadcopter demonstrates new possibilities

Science Nation - Mind-controlled quadcopter demonstrates new possibilities
With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), biomedical engineer Bin He and his team at the University of Minnesota have created a brain-computer interface with the goal of helping people with disabilities, such as paralysis, regain the ability to do everyday tasks.

Currently, the researchers are testing out their system using a flying object known as a quadcopter, and controlling it with someone's thoughts! For the experiments, the team uses both an actual flying quadcopter and a virtual one.

Quality versus Value - and why stuff breaks (ZMR250 mini quadcopter analysis)

Quality versus Value - and why stuff breaks (ZMR250 mini quadcopter analysis)
More on the broken ZMR250 mini quadcopter arms and the whole matter of reviewing products.

The ZMR250 frame is inferior to the brand-name products I have looked at to date. That is a simple, undeniable fact -- and the stress analysis diagrams plus physical measurements in this video show one aspect of why this is true.

However, just because a Honda Civic is not as good a car as a Bugatti Veyron or Bently doesn't mean it isn't a good car in its own right -- and it is the same with many of the products

ZMR-250 Chinese mini quadcopter crash report

ZMR-250 Chinese mini quadcopter crash report
I have already published the first part of the review of this frame but I thought viewers might like to see how it holds up under a crash that most carbon mini-quadcopters would shrug off.

Was this just bad luck or are the arms too weak at the point where the holes for the inner-most motor screws are drilled?

I've had much worse crashes with my other mini quadcopters and only broken props so it would appear that the ZMR250 frame isn't as strong as many other offerings in the market.

Stay tuned for the full flight review though.

Removing WLToys V262 Quadcopter Foam Training Canopy

Removing WLToys V262 Quadcopter Foam Training Canopy
The V262 foam canopy cover does NOT enhance the flying performance of the quadcopter. It greatly degrades performance. It is only meant to protect the rotor blades for beginners. Think of it as quadcopter training wheels. To allow the quadcopter to perform at its best, it should be removed once you learn to fly without bumping into objects. This video shows how. WLToys V262 http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V262-Cyclone-2_4G-4CH-6-Axis-RC-Quadcopter-With-Camera-RTF-p-77720.html?p=RB0922217402201307U3

Printable robots those that can be assembled from parts produced by 3-D printers have long been a topic of research in the lab of Daniela Rus, the Andrew and Erna Viterbi Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT.

At this year's IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, Rus' group and its collaborators introduce a new wrinkle on the idea: bakable robots.

In two new papers, the researchers demonstrate the promise of printable robotic components that, when heated, automatically fold into prescribed three-dimensional configurations.

The powered exoskeleton goes back to the late 1950s and 60s. Some historians believe they go back even earlier. Also sometimes called the exosuit, mech suit, superman suit, powersuit, supersuit, man-amplifier, strength suit (or the motive part of powered armor), the powered exoskeleton has been made popular by blockbuster movie hits such as Iron Man, Marvel's The Avengers, Elysium, Starship Troopers, and The Dark Knight Returns (animated).

The humanoid robot Nexi and a team of robot helicopters are deployed in response to a simulated fire aboard a Navy ship. Working together with a remote human operator, the robots search for survivors and guide them to safety. A mixed-initiative tasking system allows the human operator to specify team goals via a tasking interface, and also allows goals to be generated by the robots as a result of local observations and interactions with victims.
