Riverside, Ca –
- Project Objective:
- Created a system to track an object aerially. Safety and reliability were prioritized over speed, and clarity and usability were emphasized.
- Experimental Hardware and Software Setup:
- BerryGPS-IMU
- USB to UART converter
- Arduino Uno
- XBee Breakout Board
- Double Pole Double Throw Switch
- Raspberry Pi 3b+
- XBee S2C module
- Software to control the drone using Arduino
- Software for Xbee communication
- Software for User interface
- Project Outcomes:
- Successfully tracked the movement of the leader drone and follows it by the follower drone
- Achieved an admirable system performance with a relatively low steady-state error almost at the limit of the GPS precision
- Achieved a decent response time
