Logs Records and Ideas ยป
Brainstorming¶
- Group Navigation/Exploration
- Follow the leader: the leader maps, the other two carry payloads
- Different hardware on each quadrotor; one has a nice camera, etc
- Modular or swappable sensors
- Cooperative mapping
- Cooperative lifting
- Cooperation with ground vehicle
- Stay above android phone and send data
- Vision-based object following
- Pick an object on compute display and follow it
- Wear certain object, follow and film
- Stream Video
- Aiding Pilot / UI for control
- Alternative methods of control
- Assisting a pilot (flies itself) for detecting fractures/problems on the ground
- Determine where wifi is being wasted
- Circle a building and see where wifi signal is strong
- 3D mapping of large objects
- Picking up objects/Deliver payload
- Medicine/supplies
- Pesticides
- Landing platform
- Temporary small platform out of duct tape and LEDs
- Quadrotor could land inside a bigger ring. It would look excellent in the dark and make for great videos.
- The quadrotor could use optical flow in the dark to find its landing area.
- A "Q" design is particularly good because the position of the Q's line in the circle gives orientation.
- Hula Hoop would work well
- Optical Flow
- Good way to do localization
