Gyro Flyer R/C Helicopter
Summer days are coming for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, and it makes sense to prepare yourself (and your kids) for it by thinking of ways to make this the best summer of their lives.

Hands on with the Virtual Reality Copter Shadow from Interactive Toy
We’ve reported on Interactive Toy, like the Duck Hunter and Skeet Shooter toys. I recently had a chance to try out the Virtual Reality Control Shadow, a remote control helicopter. The copter is made mostly of styrofoam, with dual blades. It comes with a controller that looks like the “stick” of a real helicopter, and the user is able to control the copter by leaning it in certain directions. As …

Voice controlled Quad-copter out of MIT
I loved seeing Parrot’s AR.Drone at CES, and I had just as much fun watching the video of this quad-copter, created by the Robust Robotics Group at MIT. It would appear that this Robust Robotics Group took this thing a step further, but it still requires some sort of iPhone to maintain control. The AR.Drone wasn’t able to take vocal commands. You can see from the vid that the operator …
