Verbal Commands To Fly UAVs

Autonomous Artificial Intelligent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is not a new concept, after all Sci Fi writers have been discussing it for years. We are truly getting closer to such technologies and it may become a reality sooner than we think. The next step for unmanned vehicles whether they be on the ground, air, sea or a combination of all three, will soon work on verbal commands.

A military commander will simply say to the Unmanned Aircraft to go fly over sector III and VI and alert us if there are any red force still alive; oh and watch out for SAMs (surface-to-air missiles). The UAV will then fly off, choose its best optimum speed based on the intensity of the command voice, fly to the sectors in the order commanded, turn on anti-missile avoidance system on level 5 (highest evasion program) and then send in a video feed narrated as it flies. It will then come back and land and wait for another command while it alerts other robotics on the ground to refuel it and then it will hibernate, just like your laptop does when it is on batteries? Sound too far out? Well if you think five years is too far out, then you are right. But I say it is right around the corner for DARPA and military service or Department of Homeland Security.

Imagine robots, which you simply talk to them in your own langauge; “go put out that fire,” or better yet “clean the pool and wash the RV while I am gone, oh and alert me if the check comes in the mail. Thanks!”

Generally such technology is first seen in military or space application and then within a few more years it can find its way into commercial purposes. Expect this to be available for you at home in 6-8 years or less through one of the leading robot makers such as iRobot, US Robotics or a Japanese manufacturer of robots. Some say much sooner? Think on this.
