R/C helicopter controlled by voice commands
DVICE Atom Feed —
... off, and you're kinda in control. There's no command mentioned to fly left or right, so you'd better be content with a lot of hovering.
Let's hope this $76 chopper works better than most voice-controlled toys. And you full-sized helicopter designers, don't get any ideas. Car companies — you, too. I can just see those cellphone-talking drivers getting their commands mixed up with their conversations.

Instead of a rear propeller, the helicopter chooses a stacked rotor-design. A ceiling sensor has been mounted atop to ensure that the ‘Voice Helicopter’ could sense obstacles and stop its ascent. Video after the jump.
