Let Your Body Control The Dronehttps://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/960/1*DYyIivw0mxRgGm_Ib4tGJQ.jpegFlying a drone is not easy as it seems. A lot of practice, patience, experience and concentration are all what required to fly a drone safely. EPFL has developed a system for drone control, taking away the sticks and replacing them with intuitive and comfortable movements of your entire body.
Basically, its an upper-body soft exoskeleton called FlyJacket. Developed by EPFLs Laboratory of Intelligent Systems, led by Professor Dario Floreano, FlyJacket is designed to be portable and affordable. The suit equipped with sensors detects the body motion, and translate torso pitch into drone pitch and torso roll into drone roll.
The experience starts when you put the FlyJacket on as it gives the feeling to wear a superhero suit. As the drone control is very intuitive, user is directly immersed into the flight and can directly start to explore the environment. You almost instantly become embodied to the drone, says Carine Rognon from EPFL.

What are the risk involve and advantages in developing an Artificial Intelligence on your Platform? We see several attempts from major companies on creating an AI but to no avail. The AI they developed learned but was shut downed. I think it was on the news or facebook last year.
