QuadCopter UAV Image Processing 3D Mapping Guidance
Jun 16th
Parrot AR-Drone Quadcopter UAV on the video slow how do it learning from the first time manual guide then it recognize object from on-board camera with image processing algorithms building the 3D map and autonomous flight from recent relevant map, as they said it will be accurate than normal GPS guidance. via diydrones
Aggressive QuadCopter Maneuvers
May 27th
The developer team from university of pennsylvania by Daniel Mellinger, Dr. Nathan Michael and Dr. Vijay Kumar slowing aggressive QuadCopter flight it can flip, and fly through windows.
Autonomous Take off and Landing QuadCopter
May 26th
Autonomous take off and landing quadcopter with carrier tracking the developer from University of Tübingen using Wii IR camera which can tracking IR light patten then calculate it back to position and orientation to control the flight, self-stabilization with IMU unit, onboard process with additional ground station which reported live view camera image, current calculated pose, next way point and PID controller setting.
DIY quadcopter with ArduIMU
May 15th
Jose Julio on diydrone slowing his diy quadcopter with arduIMU ( Arduino IMU ) this slowing part lll of his develop that mount new infrared sensors for avoiding the obstacles, sonar sensor for attitude hold. automatic takeoff and landing.
Wyvern Quadrotor Helicopter
May 4th
The Quadcopter from Wyver blog still in develop with amazing work, They using PID algorithm to control their flying quadcopter and sharing a lot of information like IMU, Wireless Control, Mechanic Design and much more including videos, visit their blog.
RC Helicopter with DSLR mount for HD
Apr 28th
The new age for high attitude photograph the interview from www.diyphotography.net , Eric Austin the developer slowing amazing work on his video present in vimeo. also it on test with auto-pilot for future features like autonomous hover,altitude, position hold with GPS.
The micro-tricopter
Apr 27th
The micro tricopter were develop by William Th. He showing this project in his blog. It very amazing that small stuff can fly very flexible. very powerful engine it can even carry compact camera on flying with his develop the I2C to PWM convertor. the tricopter controlled by Arduino pro mini with 3 axis gyroscopes and accelerometer with self-stabilizing. all info available in his blog including source code.
