Drone-Indepenent-Study

Making a Drone do search and detection automatically for mass deployment.

Summary

The project aims to develop a drone capable of conducting autonomous search and mapping of a given area using GPS data. The team is using a DJI drone that lacks an SDK, requiring them to establish effective communication with the drone and control it via its controller. To achieve this, they have connected the controller to a Raspberry Pi and utilized its GPIO pins to manipulate the drone as if it were a joystick. The project demonstrates the team's ability to create a customized solution that effectively enables a non-programmable drone to perform complex tasks autonomously, with potential applications in fields such as surveying, mapping, and environmental monitoring.

TO DO

- Making the drone using ArduPilot
    - Make Drone using flight controller and connect it up to a raspberry pi
    - Get equipment
    - https://www.thingiverse.com/make:901017
    - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:753840
- Get a drone license
- GPS
    - Drone can make path
    - Drone can travel path
    - Drone can edit path

- Droning
    - Drone should be able to drone

- Vision
    - Drone needs to be able to edit path based on what it sees
    - Drone must detect people in a certain place

- Control
    - Drone should be able to be controlled from a API
    - Drone needs to have a way of conforming its control
    - Need to map space where drone is
