1-month graduate project // Royal College of Art & Imperial College// May 2017

Taking inspiration from the interaction between falconers and their birds of prey, as well as from common daily gestures, cybernetics, dance, and robotics, several themes were explored, namely: - a gesture-based interaction scheme that attempts to create a more intuitive and natural way to communicate with aerial robots - ways in which aerial robots can become more autonomous by interpreting their environment in richer ways - ways in which they can communicate their intentions and give feedback - ways in which an aerial robot can understand and react to human emotions and eventually influence our behaviour
