... an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), commonly known as a drone and also referred by several other names, is an aircraft without a human pilot aboard. The flight of UAVs may be controlled either autonomously by onboard computers or by the remote control of a pilot on the ground or in another vehicle.

Java API for Drones.
'API' stands for 'Application Programming Interface', it's a toolset for programmers.
from what i read, Java API for Drones allows Java Programmers control drone(s) using a computer & programmatic interface - theoretically not only with a PS3 controller.
Stitie Space & 'Ola AH' Programming Language.
one of use cases for 'Ola AH' Programming Language & for Stitie Space (both in development) is 'robot swarm coordination'.
... with 'Java API for Drones' these should allow for coordinating Drones to fly in Formation(s).

perhaps i should buy a drone or few once i return to work (in 2017 probably).
... by that time drones should be cheaper anyway.
... perhaps can organize a pretty formation-flight show with drones for people to watch ;)
