Abstract

This thesis presents an indoor autonomous drone system using a self assembled drone which uses a companion computer as well as external sensors for autonomous flight. While autonomous drone systems have been around for some time, originating with the military, the vast majority of them are designed for outdoor use, because of their heavy reliance on GPS for their positioning systems. In order to achieve autonomous flight indoors we choose to use simultaneous localization and mapping (slam) as our positioning system. The contributions of this thesis is an in depth guide to the hardware and assembly of a drone system, the software required for a basic drone set-up as well as additional software needed for autonomous operations, and finally the results of the project along with the difficulties and setbacks that were encountered.

Clean, modern Mac inspired interface that Mac users will love. Different system, same operation Usage is the same on Mac and PC versions, so if you’re used to the PC version you can switch straight over. No more driver installs No more downloading drivers to install Assistant. Operating system: Mac OS X 10.6(Lion) or above. Download AirMap for Drones PC for free at BrowserCam. Published AirMap for Drones for Android operating system mobile devices, but it is possible to download and install AirMap for Drones for PC or Computer with operating systems such as Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Mac.

Mac computers are generally reliable. But as with any computer, sometimes things go wrong. Before you spend big on a new Mac, though, try a factory reset, which wipes your computer and reinstalls. WebODM is a free and open source mapping software (though you can pay for an installer and technical support). Being open source, those who know what they are doing can download the API and create further functionality. The software allows you to create orthomosaics as well as 3D and elevation models. There is also integration for QGIS and AutoCAD.

Capabilities and Features

The AR.Drone 2.0 Quadcopter Embedded Coder®target allows users to build customized controllers for the AR.Drone 2.0 in MATLAB®, and Simulink® and automatically build and deploy them onto the drone via Wi-Fi. Users can add to existing models and controllers to enhance the AR.Drone 2.0 design or start from scratch and build their own quadcopter controller.

Highlights include:

  • Automatically deploy code generated from Simulink to the AR.Drone 2.0 via Wi-Fi
  • Utilize External Mode to monitor and tune algorithms as the code is running
  • Simulink template models and controllers can be used to get started prototyping your own design
  • Step by step examples explain how to access the AR Drone 2.0 hardware in Simulink.
  • Background information about the AR Drone 2.0 target explaining automatic code generation.
  • Default firmware reinstalls when vehicle restarts so you do not have to worry about re-flashing
