Autonomous UAV

Project Leader: NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING**

The autonomous UAV project comprises of controlling an AR Drone 2.0 with Robot Operating System (ROS) and computer vision to track specific objects or colors. Data is transmitted through Wi-Fi between the drone and the control station (PC). Currently images captured from the onboard camera are streamed at a stable frequency to the ground control station, received by a computer vision node to implement the tracking capabilities, by locating the relative location of the target. A control loop – possibly PID – will be applied to smoothen the tracking process.
