Voice-Activated Software Guides Drones Hands Free

LEESBURG, Virginia — Software company Primordial Labs has developed a human-machine interface called Anura that allows war­fighters to operate drones through speech commands.

The objective of Anura is “not so much making the machine more human, but making the mechanism of interaction with the machine more human,” said Primordial Labs’ CEO and co-founder Lee Ritholtz during a demonstration of the technology.

Anura streamlines control of uncrewed systems by processing the operator’s natural language inputs and determining their intent to execute the objective. The interface’s use of natural language means it does not require any memorization of keywords or phrases, making the interaction between the user and the drone more intuitive, he said.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
