このカメラが生まれたか
お話ししたいと思います
私は衝撃を受けました
考えられません
私にとって最高にクールなものでした
quite commonly out there,
よく利用されるものになるだろうと
もしくは何年もかかるでしょうが
such a unique perspective.
this scale, for example,
全容を伝えられるようなカメラは
and they are quite basic
とても基本的であり
カメラを飛ばしています
spinning, sharp things.
回転体や突起物もたくさんあります
back of the pilot's shirt, it says,
書いてあります
パイロットをたたき
事故が起きるからです
川の上を飛ばしているので安全です
全ての人々と状況に
良い規制の欠如です

低く飛ぶようにと命令する感じで
不安かもしれませんがー(笑)
operate one of these devices.
どうやって使いますか?
どう役立てたいですか?
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Sergei Lupashin - Aerial robotics researcherSergei Lupashin imagines new uses for flying robots. He's a 2014 TED Fellow.
Why you should listen
When Sergei Lupashin saw how an aerial photograph of massive protests around the 2011 Russian federal elections changed the media silence around the subject, the aerial robotics engineer realized the truth-telling value of the bird’s-eye view. Yet aerial photographs, even those taken by unmanned aerial vehicles, are tricky to produce: it’s difficult to pilot a UAV safely, and government regulations restrict their use.
Lupashin gets around both obstacles with his new invention, the Fotokite – a lightweight, camera-equipped quadricopter controlled with a tether (for the purposes of this demo, a dog leash). He turns one on, points it in a direction, and it flies out, hovering at a consistent angle. Then he launches a second, and a third. While the Fotokite would have a huge impact on journalism, it should also prove useful for archeologists, architects, wildlife biologists, emergency responders and more. The possibilities are endless. If you had one, Lupashin asks, what would you do with it?
