In order to select the best drone option to purchase in order to accomplish the design goals of our project we have created this page to breakdown the main benefits and drawbacks of each existing option. Most of these solutions are RTF (Ready to fly) out of the box, with minimal set up or configuration requirements. The majority of our senior design team has little experience with working with hardware so we believe it is the benefit of productivity to avoid the need for the integration of various component parts to create a customized drone solution.
- Onboard, built-in cameras
- A bottom quarter video graphics array (QVGA) camera (320 × 240 px resolution) with 60 fps
- HD front camera (1280 × 720 px resolution) with 30 fps
- The onboard flight controller runs in Linux and is closed-source. However, using the Parrot SDK or other APIs, we can access various drone functionality.
- The drone is not controllable outside the WiFi range.
- Seems to be the drone of choice for most current research in the field.
- Open source packages for ROS and other systems already exist.
