📣 Announcements

  • We are confirmed to compete in AEAC Student Competition in Medicine Hat, Alberta in May 2025!

  • Obstacle avoidance flight test on 9-28

    • Did not run: the buck converter which converts the battery’s 12V to 5V for the pi broke

      • Need to ground test the whole system earlier before flight test day

    • Instead, collected some LiDAR data of particular scenes → Andrew Shum Vyomm Khanna

    • Also started raining, pegasus tuning done halfway, needs more testing

Obstacle Avoidance

Vyomm Khanna

  • Flight testing this weekend to collect data.

  • Researching path deflection algorithms - decided on Vector Field Histogram for obstacle avoidance.

  • Started algorithm implementation, can visualise polar field histogram from LiDAR readings.

  • Getting up to speed on DroneKit and current navigation architecture to work on adding waypoints to drone in-flight.

IR Camera + detection

Vibhinn Gautam

  • No response for IR camera just yet

    • Maybe look into buying one separately from sponsor?

  • Need to start developing soon (start with detection of any color)
