AR Drone 2 Mods with The New School We’ve been hosting (and helping when we can) a group from The New School who are working on a performance highlighting the potential dangers of the use of autonomous drones in warfare. The main performer will be a modified AR Drone 2 by Parrot. Using the onboard HD camera for streaming video to a projector, onlookers will get to experience a robot’s-eye view of a simulated targeting sequence. So far progress includes enabling video streaming to a computer via python-ardrone, changing the view angle of the HD camera,  and hacking into the drone battery pack to power a radio control module that will be mounted in the interior. The RC unit will operate up to 4 separate sets of LEDs attached to the hull. We also opened up the guts so we could rearrange things and remove some unnecessary plastic bits to make way for inserting the RC board. The performance at the New School went great! Web site for the performance and principles behind the drone project can be found on TheDroneMediaProject website.

Like and share if you think this toy is awesome! You’ve all seen taser like devices built from disposable cameras. We have seen them mounted to rubber gloves, finger tips, even potato gun ammo! We had not yet seen them on a quadcopter. This was quickly remedied once we had one to play with. Meet the shockerDrone, a Parrot AR Drone with built in shocker attachment. To add the shocker attachment, we had to reduce weight as much as possible. To do this, all stickers and extra material was removed from the “indoor” hull of the AR Drone. We chose the indoor version because it has this night light frame that extends out past the blades to protect them.

This was perfect for allowing it to bump into people. We then made two tracks with aluminum tape around the entire hull. These were connected with wire directly to the capacitor in a disposable camera. Another weight reduction was to remove all extraneous pieces of the camera. Not only did this make it lighter, but it allowed the entire circuit to be hidden inside the hull. Only a little bit of carving was necessary to make enough space. As you can see in the video, it does supply a shock, but not a strong enough one to knock you down. Our brave subject [Jared] got hit a few times and seemed to survive the ordeal. Then again, he’s an electrician and has probably had worse at his day job.  I accidentally cradled it in my arm thinking it was discharged and ended up with a full and fairly prolonged discharge that broke the skin. You can see a picture of that down below. I had an idea that a fun game would be “grab the dollar bill off of the shockerDrone”, but the AR Drone isn’t quite as nimble as some other devices we’ve seen and people were able to just snatch the dollar bill without much chance of being shocked.
