I'm not so sure. We're good at controlling things with lesser degrees of freedom than our bodies naturally possess. I am not sure wed be very good at controlling things with more dof unless it was very high level octopus arm type control (arm, get the red ball and drop it here)

A quadcopter has 6 degrees of freedom. A single human arm has 30 degrees of freedom.
