DIY Drones is featured in this week's installment of my favorite tech show, the excellent Robots Podcast, which interviewed me a few weeks ago. From the writeup:
"The [DIY Drones] community relies on a development team of more than 100 active developers contributing to about a dozen projects, both hardware and software. One of their products, the ArduPilot autopilot, can be strapped to your flyers for autonomous control. In a rather new twist in the industry, DIY Drones focusses on making open source hardware that can be used by all in the same spirit as open source software.
Anderson covers all the questions you ever had about making flying robots, including safety and legal aspects. He also discusses risks in putting this technology in the wrong hands and some anecdotes of crazy projects coming out of the community."
Check it out here. And subscribe to hear all the podcasts, which cover loads of ground of interest to this community, from other UAV issues to basis research on AI and locomotion. It really is a must-listen production from a crack team of researchers at a top Swiss robotics lab. Highly recommended.
