Technical Description of Unmanned System

Weight: 50

Checklist:

Be Sure To Include:

Analysis of Alternate Solutions

  • Frame - Brielle, Cindy, Megan

  • Shrinjay

  •  description of alternate solutions
  •  decision on solution
  •  diagram
  •  how solution is relevant to problem space
  •  in-depth analysis
  • other ways the problem was approached

  • why we chose this solution

Features and Capabilities

  • Zeropilot - Dhruv

  • Computer Vision Architecture: Object detection - Ray

  • Computer Vision Architecture: Processing and Interfacing - Shrinjay, Ray

  • Camera Gimbal - Steven, Josh

  •  all features addressed (try to have them addressed in sequential order with reference to a diagram)
  •  diagram
  •  relevance to problem space
  •  refer to “updated feedback“ for “features and capabilities”
  • what makes this design special

Pick-Up/ Drop-Off Methodology

  • Grabber (Cindy, Kayla, Matthew)

  •  outline how QR codes will be read
  •  discuss grabber
  •  does the aircraft land? does it rely on Yolov5? How does it land? or Hover?
  • what features this system has to allow for pickup and drop off of a range of design shapes

  • how this process occur gently, accurately and at a distance

Automation

Comms & Control : Aaditya, Kaveet, Anthony, Dhruv

  • Telemetry Architecture

  • Inter thread communication on Autopilot

  • Video streaming

BVLOS:

  • Automated Takeoff and Landing

  • Autonomous Identification of humans (Ray)

  •  should mention pilot in the case of an emergency
  •  outline strategy SPECIFIC TO TASKS
  •  include a diagram

  • how we meet the requirement for automated launch/flight to the intruders

Noise Signature

  • Sahil, Brielle

  • what UAV and/or navigational strategies are we using to minimize noise?

Safety

  • Sahil

  •  Consider case of comms failure
  •  Consider cases for system operating near the ground (should address nearby PEOPLE and objects…)

*both technical and physics safety issues should be addressed, the above considerations are just those forgotten on last years report, not all the cases.

  • How we intend to avoid colliding with things

  • Any other safety systems implemented

System Level Testing

  • Flight tests - Sahil

  • Firmware Tests (Dhruv)

  •  Risk Matrix
  •  Explanation of tests during development
  •  Explanation of tests during testing phase
  •  Ensure ALL relevant system level tests are covered and spoken about IN DEPTH
  • testing process implemented during development and in preparation for practice flights and scenarios
