Data Telemetry

• proof of concept for encode/decoding bytes to IMACS (encode-decode-bytes branch)

GUI

• Map on the homepage (status?)

• Heading widget on video feed for attitude controller

• waypoint setup

• drone info on the homepage

• add channels to motor page

• deadline to be set within next week

Landing pad

• Data from ani

• processing datasets in to yolov7 format

• training may have started

• research on obstacle detection for unknown objects

• look into integration with computer vision python repo

Path Optimization

• Discussing path finding algorithms

  • split into two tasks

• divided into 3 parts

• QR code

• data-telemetry

• task 1: Dijkstra → because of boundaries, possibly use 2d coordinate system

  • inputs written

  • outputs

• task 2: score-based algorithm

• clarify outputs

Auto Landing

• past weekend, testing on initial idea (movement command to find xy position of landing pad on screen)

• algorithm got direction correctly

• distance incorrect

• Use CV to figure out distance and orientation using at relative distance

• figure out how far to go, independent of EFS data

Autonomous Landing R&D

To Do:

• Preliminary research

• create a confluence page outlining research, approach

• also feel free to recommend LiDAR’s
