Quadcopter Is Controlled With User’s Thoughts

Jun 052013

Everyday, science is bringing us closer to the future. And the University of Minnesota is helping us all get there that much sooner with this just published video, appropriately titled Mind Over Mechanics, that demonstraes their jaw-dropping new feat of engineering.

The video features a quadcopter that can delicately fly through hoops and obstacles. But that’s not the amazing part. What’s incredible is that the robot is controlled with no hands.

The user simply thinks of where the robot should fly, and the brain-computer interface takes care of the rest. Hopefully, robots controlled by just thought will help and even free countless disabled people in the near future.

May 222013

Last summer, the web went crazy after Weepingprophet created a hilarious video of himself having a conversation with his younger self made possible from old VHS videos he created as a kid. That video quickly exploded online, and now stands with over 10 million views.

Now, Tyler Marcum has made a name for himself online in a similar fashion of mixing the present with video from the past.

When he was 20 and in college, he had a boring afternoon with time to kill, so he performed an interpretive dance in his underwear to the Dixie Chicks’ hit single Landslide.

He just turned 30, so as a life stepping stone, he’s decided to revisit his past and recreate his ridiculous dance video from college. He put the two videos side by side, and now the video is going viral.

Already, the new clip has appeared on BuzzFeed, DailyDot, DailyOfTheDay, and HyperVocal.
