Obstacle-less Package Delivery

Above shown is a video of the UAV performing autonomous navigation to the goal position while avoiding obstacles. The UAV can detect an obstacle from a distance of 3m and it maintains a distance of 0.5m from the obstacle at all time.

Manual Package dropoff

Guided A to B Navigation

The takeoff is performed manually and when in the air, the mode is switched to ‘Guided’. The UAV then moves to a position 4m ahead and holds position. Mode is switched back to manual and landed.

The takeoff is performed manually and when in the air, the mode is switched to ‘Guided’. The Odroid runs the detection algorithm to see where the marker is and instructs UAV to hover over it (at 18m height). Mode is then switched back to manual and landed.

Quick demonstration of the Navigation Stack Progress in Simulation. The UAV moves in a lawn-mover search pattern while avoiding obstacles. The black spots shown in the video show the surroundings as seen by the LIDAR. When an obstacles comes more than 1m near the UAV the planner changes UAV’s trajectory to avoid the obstacle,
