[QUOTE="Andre Levite, post: 90385, member: 10850"] The Spark would turn off by itself once the battery got low enough -- no double click necessary. It could then charge fully without any commands if it had docked properly. Now comes the hard part... Turning the Spark back on would require [B]mechanical[/B] input such as a double-click of the battery power button. [I]There is currently no software that can wake a powered off Spark[/I] -- that would require an always ready low power Sleep state -- that option does not currently exist. For the moment we have overlooked the requirement for the Spark to precisely land in a waiting charger. That is actually an extremely difficult obstacle to overcome. Several other members are looking for drones with the [B]complete autonomy[/B] you describe. For now this is science fiction. But a few years that will be the norm. [/QUOTE]
