DIY Drones: An Open Source Hardware and Software Approach to Making “Minimum UAVs”

Every day, Moore’s law—technology getting cheaper, faster, better—brings more and more professional-quality robotics within the reach of amateurs. Over the past few decades we’ve seen this in wheeled, legged, and other ground-based (“2D”) robotics. Now the same forces are starting to do the same for “3D” robotics, including underwater and aerial vehicles. This session will demonstrate the leading edge of this: some of the cheapest UAVs ever built. Some are based on LEGO Mindstorms NXT, some use regular cell phones strapped to model planes, and some use hobby-grade embedded microprocessors grafted to radio control (RC) aircraft. From O'Reilly Where 2.0 Conference, Burlingame, CA, May 13, 2008.
