The free software approach to ArduPilot code development is similar to that of the Linux Operating system and the GNU Project, and the PX4/Pixhawk and Paparazzi Project, where low cost and availability enabled hobbyists to build autonomous small remotely piloted aircraft, such as micro air vehicles and miniature UAVs. The drone industry ...
The Parrot AR.Drone is a discontinued remote-controlled flying quadcopter, built by the French company Parrot.. The drone is designed to be controlled by mobile or tablet operating systems, such as iOS or Android [1] within their respective apps or the unofficial software available for Windows Phone, Samsung BADA and Symbian devices.
OpenDroneMap is an open source photogrammetry toolkit to process aerial imagery (usually from a drone) into maps and 3D models. [3] [4] [5] The software is hosted and distributed freely on GitHub. [6] OpenDroneMap has been integrated within American Red Cross's in-field Portable OpenStreetMap system. [7]
The drone also features a Wi-Fi module, a GPS-enabled position holding, return-to-home capability, a Naza-M flight control system, and self-tightening propellers. [11] [12] The drone connects to iOS or Android devices via an app, allowing the operator to control the camera and view flight data. Battery capacity was increased to 5200mAh, giving ...
In a boomerang mode, the drone flies a set distance from its user, takes a photo, and then returns. In a panorama mode, it takes photos to fill a 360° arc. In a follow me mode, it serves as a third-person view camera by trailing the user. In a hover mode, it hovers for use in jib shots and can be controlled from a smartphone.
One claim was that the onboard camera is able to read a license plate from two miles (3.2 km) away. [13] An operator's command takes 1.2 seconds to reach the drone via a satellite link. The MQ-9 is fitted with six stores pylons. The inner stores pylons can carry a maximum of 1,500 pounds (680 kg) each and allow carriage of external fuel tanks.
Drone racing, generally in the form where participants control radio-controlled UAVs equipped with cameras, while wearing head-mounted displays showing the live stream camera feed from the drones. Being pulled by a UAV in combination with some sports equipment, such as a snowboard ("droneboarding"), [108] [109] or wakeboard ("drone surfing"). [110]
