Project Goal Achieve real world execution of a planned route using vision-based guidance Quadrotor Autonomous Navigation & Guidance
Quadrotor Actions and Abilities Maintain constant flight altitude Identify ground markers using on-board optics Autonomously navigate from marker to marker Identify “no fly” zones Take fasted path out of zone to closest marker Increase precision when near restricted zones Land when lost Manual override Quadrotor Autonomous Navigation & Guidance
