Kinect turned into a quadrocopter radar

[mattbatchelor]

Every night we go to bed thinking that we've finally seen the best Kinect hack done and every morning we wake up to see something even crazier concocted with Microsoft's motion controller. Today, it's been mounted atop a quadrocopter -- yes, man's future worst enemy -- and utilized essentially as a 3D radar, facilitating the bot's autonomous maneuvering around a predetermined track. The random introduction of obstacles is also handled in stride, leaving us equal parts impressed, apprehensive, and eager for more.

Looks cool. Reminds me of those flying things in the terminator films. Perhaps they can develop it to then try to move around the object?

Yeah and make your dinner and clean the house!
