The future of home-security.
You know the status quo - your home's broken into, alarm goes off, cops arrive, crooks have made off with the loot, they write you a report, you get your money back from insurance, but you don't sleep well anymore.
How about...
crooks bust in, sensors detect, and inform, you immediately (?) launch an RC helicopter out of one of those innocuous looking plastic storage bins in your back yard to follow the crooks. This needs a bit of video analytics - you need to detect that the crooks have started their getaway before you move.. maybe swoop down behind them and get their license plate too..
To think about...
How far can you follow them? i.e., if it were pure electric, what range could you have. You can actually get tiny gasoline engines (0.5 pounds weight!) that might give you virtually unlimited range.. (when you sense you're down to your last bit - aim at the stars to get max altitude and then glide back home!)
