  • Intro

    • Past Sync2024-06-06 Autonomy Director Sync

    • what progress has been made in the last month?

      • airside lots of progress

      • geolocation testing in progress, seems to be working, FT soon

      • cluster estimation making progress

      • decision module, unassigned

    • what do you and your team want to achieve in the next month?

      • geolocation testing and integration completed

      • cluster estimation ground test

      • decision module ready (not integrated yet)

    • what roadblocks do you need help clearing to make this happen?

      • no big roadblocks

      • need to mount CV camera to Houston

      • RPi 5 mounted last time

  • Testing auto-landing by detecting a pad and landing on it with the model

    • This is still target for end of term

    • This requires cluster estimation, geolocation, & decision module

  • Autonomy socials, wait till fall term

  • Sitedness

    • Tong & Aaron not onsite next term

    • Maxwell will be onsite

  • MEF

    • items are in, need project descriptions

    • try to bring other members, there seems to be interest in this

  • Geolocation

    • Geolocation is used for landing

    • The pad landing is relative to the home position

    • Position of pad relative to the drone

    • Might need to change architecture coordinate system wise?

    • We want to be able to land on a pad end goal

      • we have an MVP script that does this

  • Cluster Estimation

    • geolocaiton gives points in a scatterplot

    • cluster estimation determines which points are a single pad

    • integration is required

    • not required to test geolocation

    • ground test end of month

  • Decision Module

    • logic to make the autoland task happen

  • IMACS

    • in middle of big refactor

    • works with missionplanner

    • trying to get working with serial

    • showcase-able thing for end of term

  • Pathing

    • pathing code uses dronekit right now, we can’t have two instances at once connecting

    • auto-landing and pathing can share dronekit instance

    • lots of refactoring to make this happen

    • trying to implement 2023 pathing requirement with the current repo

    • all pathing repo does it send locations and land command

    • why not combine auto-landing and pathing into a single python app?

      • that’s the goal of this refactor

  • RPi failsafe mechanism

    • software mechanism in addition to the hardware?

    • set variable in pixhawk could be implemented?
