The Parrot AR drone is a cool product, but that's a proprietary system,
right? In our case we would have significantly different design and usage
goals compared to the parrot drone, but certainly we would need to
accomplish many of the same technical hurdles.
Our drone flies well beyond wifi range. We are primarily focused on outdoor
use. The parrot AR drone (as best as I can tell from the videos I've seen)
is primarily a remote piloted vehicle -- with computer stabilization. It
probably wouldn't take much to make it fully autonomous, but that's not the
primary usage that I've seen. (Interactive real/VR blended dog fights.)
