Kate Alhola has implemented the control software for Parrot AR.Drone on MeeGo and Maemo. The video bellow shows the first test flight of Parrot AR.Drone with Nokia N900.
Kate Alhola is a female software developer from southern Finland and she is also a passionate QT developer and has developed this software using Qt and Qt Quick.
The software is almost complete and would be available on garage.maemo.org soon and it would be open source.
I was able to spend some time with the Parrot team testing out and piloting their new AR.Drone (a quadrocopter controlled via an iPhone). More information can be found on my blog post at: www.hightechdad.com

www.stuff.tv is the best place to go for all things tech. This week, on the Stuff.tv Show, Jools and Lucy have got their hands on two (very different) R helicopters...but which is best? Clearly, the only way to find out is to build a race course and let them loose.

Parrot shows me their AR.Drone, a quadricopter that can be controlled by iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It even has two cameras that can broadcast the images back to the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. AR.Drone generates its own Wi-Fi network (no need for an Internet connection nor a router) at which you simply connect an iPod touch or iPhone. Once the "AR.FreeFlight" application has been downloaded from the APP Store, the iPod touch/iPhone turns into a piloting station. Touch the take-off button on the screen of the iPod touch/iPhone and the Parrot AR.Drone starts its engine, takes-off, stabilizes a few feet from the ground and waits for the pilot's instructions. Parrot AR.Drone moves forward, back or sidewise depending on the inclinations of the iPod touch/iPhone. Another command button on the right of the iPod touch/iPhone screen enables the pilot to make the AR.Drone rise, go down or rotate. If flying this thing isn't cool enough, they added a gaming aspect thanks to augmented reality using the AR.Drone's built-in cameras. There will be games in the app store that complements the AR.Drone. Parrot AR.Drone will be available for purchase at selected retailers in September in the United States for $299 MSRP.
Parrot's AR.Drone, a unique combination of fun, iPhone-controlled quadricopter hardware and a promising new platform for augmented reality gaming applications, will be launching in the US this September at a price point of $299.

If you'll recall, it was just yesterday that we spied the Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0 banners here at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the run-up to CES, followed today by a leak of what appeared to be the official press release. So, it's not like the cat -- or in this case quadricopter -- wasn't already partially out of the bag, but now at least, it's officially, well, official. The new Drone touts much improved 720p HD video-recording capability, a revamped app with updated flight controls and features, along with revised hardware and reinforced hulls. We recently spent a few minutes with the smartphone-controlled UAV, so head on past the break for our brief impressions and a quick video overview. Off the bat, it's clear that the AR.Drone 2.0 is more aggressively styled, with sharper edges and streamlined curves. The new indoor hull has also be re-enforced, for even more protection against any accidental floor-dives. Parrot's also aimed to streamline the user experience, starting with its Freeflight 2.0 app for Android and iOS, which acts as a portal to all of the AR's various flight modes and related games and software. Notably, unlike it's predecessor, you can now capture videos and photos straight from your device and then share them to site like YouTube. Better yet, it also features a new "traveling" mode, which allows for autonomous video recording along a pre-determined flight path -- perfect for budding filmmakers who'd like some aerial pizzaz.

SEE NEW VIDEOS ON www.youtube.com !!! It was our first demo with video streaming on the iPhone. AR.Drone PROTOTYPE Proto B, 2008, with removable plastic hulls
Parrot was at CES 2010 to show off their new AR Drone quadricopter (basically a fancy name for a 4-rotor helicopter). It's controlled with an iPhone app that streams real-time video from its onboard camera. Using accelerometers, ultrasonic sensors, and a downward facing camera, the AR Drone automatically stabilizes itself in flight. You use the iPhone to control the AR Drone through on-screen controls or by tilting the iPhone. Needless to say, this is awesome.
