Challenges
Battery Life
Lack of protocol documentation
Indoor testing limits R&D
Network cong was time confusing
No Binary Sockets in AIR for Android !!!!
Network Latency
Buggy Firmware (pre 1.5)
tech challenges

URBIUniversal Robot Body Interface
Scott Janousek - 2011
Urbi is an open source driver for multiple robotic systems.
A driver has been developed that allows Urbi to interface with the AR Drone.
So now you can control your drone with a laptop, joystick, keyboard, wii remote, etc.
Urbi even allows you to write scripts to have the bot perform actions.

gostai studio& gostai lab
Scott Janousek - 2011
Gostai Studio and Labs are IDEs that allow developers to interface with robotics, etc.
It can be used with URBI.
ULA files are markup files similar to MXML.
Drag and Drop components are available.
Scott Janousek - 2011
take aways
AR Drone is an fun toy
AIR, Flex = Prototyping made easy
URBI & Gostai = great for hobby robotics
Experiment, tinker, & have fun
Air Wolf Movie? ... I hope so ... :)
