Black Hornet miniature drones gain support for voice control

Teledyne Flir and Primordial Labs have announced that Black Hornet drones now support voice command control. The voice control system is called Anura Speech-to-Action.

Here's What We Know

The Black Hornet is a miniature drone from Teledyne. Primordial Labs has developed a voice control system. The company claims it will make it easier for the operator to control the drone.

The new technology was demonstrated at the SOF Week conference. The operator was able to launch the drone and change its flight direction with voice commands. He was also able to make the Black Hornet fly along a pre-created route.

The developers point out that there is no need to learn special complicated terms to control the drone. Voice commands are based on commonly used phrases, so operators without special training can control the drone.

Another feature of the new technology is whisper recognition. Primordial Labs also said its development is compatible not only with the Black Hornet, but also with other drones.
