6/13: Pre-kickoff meeting about the platform.

Near future: We all agreed on building an autopilot with high computational performance. The autopilot should have the following main features:

- a very good microprocessor on which we can run embedded optimization solvers.

- Gyros and accelerometers

- GPS

- Wireless communication module (RF, Zigbee,...)

- A range-meter

- A micro-camera

We also have to think about the power supply (motors+autopilot can be quite energy consuming)

List of tasks and people:

- Milan: benchmarking/checking what other groups are doing

- Ye: Wireless communication + micro-cameras

- Tomasz: Boards+ gyros and accelerometers

- Jean: Microprocessor /  + micro-cameras

- Faran: Gyros+GPS

- Yannis: Range-meter+cameras

- Giorgos: Power supply

 

Far future: Some ideas about what to do with the autopilot

- Swarm of quads for distributed slam, with an approximation of the global position given by GPS and good estimation of the relative position, can we compute a better estimate of the global position of each quad ? How to do 3D mapping with a swarm of quads ?
