Control Your Own Drone Army

摘要

For those who dream offeree multiplication-military tacticians and teenage nerds alike-not much beats having a drone. Unless it's having a whole fleet of coordinated drones. That vision got a little closer to reality on May 15, when DreamHammer, a Santa Monica startup, rolled out a beta version of software that would allow one person to control multiple unmanned vehicles. The software, called Ballista, works for all sorts of drones: aer al vehicles, wheeled rovers, ships, or submarines. In theory, a single person welding an iPad could carry out a persona robo-D-day.
