The AR Drone from Parrot is an affordable wifi controlled flying quadrotor helicopter. It is designed to be controlled with Android and iOS devices. Parrot has made an open source API (Application Programming Interface), to gather developers and game studios. By registering on [http://www.ARdrone.org Ardrone.org] the developer will be able to download the SDK (Software Development Kit) and start developing.
 
For this project, we will be using the AR Drone 2, which has the following technical specifications:
* HD Video:
** HD Camera 720p 30fps
** Wide angle lens: 92 degrees
** H264 encoding base profile
