Chris Paulson commented on Earl's blog post Raspberry-Pi for autopilot ?"I think shane.sanford is dead on about how this fits into the existing AP system. The one thing that I'll add is that the interfacing legwork is done. You have Mavlink and ROS for any and all communications between a Raspberry PI type board and…"
Chris Paulson commented on Paul's blog post BeagleBone offers up ARM A8 processor, Linux and 10-second boot for 89 bones"I'm surprised this didn't get more attention from this community. I see this type of processor as being critical to the Arduplane/Arducopter platforms in the fairly near future. This isn't a platform to replace the low-level…"
Chris Paulson commented on iangl's blog post Found cheapest-ever LIDAR! Seems great for UAV use!"I agree with iangl on this one, I think this looks great for UAV applications. It's not great for takeoff and landing, but imagine the possibilities with terrain mapping and terrain following with this system. In terms of eye safety,…"
Chris Paulson commented on Chris Paulson's blog post Intern needed for Software and Algorithm Development to Support UAS Platform"Could you call that 'Cloud Printing'? All joking aside, PARC is a research center focused on innovation. We have research efforts in electronic materials and devices, advanced hardware systems, intelligent systems, software development and…"

Paul Mather commented on Chris Paulson's blog post Intern needed for Software and Algorithm Development to Support UAS Platform""a Novel UAS platform"...."a Xerox company".....I assume the platform will be a flying copier?"
Chris Paulson commented on bGatti's blog post Could a $5 Sensor and a UAV have prevented the San Bruno Explosion?"I don't know if a UAS is the proper platform for this sensor. In theory, you would want to deploy a methane sniffing UAS for continual monitoring of long pipelines. That means a large UAS, for long endurance, flying close to the ground. I think…"
Chris Paulson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Could this be a good UAV platform?"I'll have one soon. I ordered it several months ago and am waiting on it to ship. Gary told me it should ship this week or next. I'm interested in using an APM with the setup. If there are any APM experts in the Bay Area interested in…"
Chris Paulson commented on Hooks's blog post Hugin UAV platform"What are the payload specs for this airframe? I assume an electric propulsion system would cost about 1 to 1.5 kg. How much spare payload capacity is there for cameras and electronics?"
Chris Paulson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Another use for UAVs: generating power"Joby Energy in Santa Cruz, CA is working on this as well. The CEO gave a talk on the subject a months ago at PARC. Apparently the FAA agreed to classify these wind farms as obstructions, as long as they stay below 2000 feet. The talk also contains…"
Chris Paulson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post $30 laser rangefinder!"I just came across this today:
http://www.vescentphotonics.com/SEEOR_Product.html
It looks like it would make a compact LIDAR system. This module combined with a pan-tilt head would make a nice addition to any UAV. No word on cost yet, hopefully I…"
Chris Paulson commented on Tom Yochum's blog post Using ArduPilot as an aerial minesweeper?"I believe that you can make near surface detections with passive LWIR cameras. The detector cost is declining, but it still might be several years before you can use an IR camera on a hobby UAV."
Chris Paulson replied to William Premerlani's discussion robust estimator of the direction cosine matrix"Would it be possible to post the Matlab code you're using?"
Chris Paulson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Summer robotics intern positions at PARC"I can say from personal experience that PARC is a great place to work. It's a very knowledgeable and friendly community, I guarantee you'll learn something here. If you're looking for an internship in the bay area, you'd be doing…"
