Self Deploying Sensor Swarm: Aansturing UAVs, communicatie, afstandsmeting & collision avoidance

In dit verslag behandelen we de aansturing van UAVs, afstandsbepaling tussen UAVs, communicatie tussen UAVs en collision avoidance voor een Self Deploying Sensor Swarm (SDSS). Het doel van de opdracht is om een demonstratie te maken van een SDSS waarmee bewezen kan worden dat het concept haalbaar is en dat hierin tevens ook het ‘follow-the-data’...

UAV Camera System for Object Searching and Tracking

An embedded electronic camera system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) was developed in the scope of the final bachelor project at the TU Delft in 2012. The aim of the project was to develop a prototype for a new UAV competition. The electronic system of the prototype had to able to track an object, make a picture of it and send it to a ground...

AR.Drone autonomous control and position determination

In this thesis first a study is conducted on which position determination method should be used in a UAV and especially in the Parrot AR.Drone. Then an autonomous control for the AR.Drone is designed. The best position determination method in this case appeared to be a combination of a GPS sensor and a barometer. The autonomous control is...
