I used the ROS a few years ago with Professor Jenkins at Brown University. It was great, I sat in my wheelchair in the UK and flew a drone remotely in the Lab. in Rhode Island using just my head and right index finger. It was great :-) It was easy to set up and use and pretty reliable at the time. In a similar vein I used NodeCopter to do something similar between Yorkshire and London at a Wired conference as well. That used a web interface and lots of JavaScript goodness to achieve roughly the same affect. It was loads of fun, but a very high pressure thing to do to try not to hit journalists in the head with a drone! My next big step is to go for the whole FPV experience with my set of limitations, I started trying to do just that last year but with one thing and another (read: hospitals and stupid quadriplegic stuff) it didn't come to pass. It definitely looks like fun though as I had some really cool advice from Kevin and a few other people. I'm really hoping to get back off the ground again at some point soon. (See what I did there!) Here's the video of the nearly hitting the editor of Wired magazine in the head with a drone in case you're interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XM97VvRSRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XM97VvRSRM Edited to add: if anybody from ROS needs a quadriplegic geek to help test anything, get in touch. :-)
