Autonomous Flying Nano Drones

Posted by Guido on March 24, 2016 at 2:21am

Hi all,
I am new in the forum and in the topic. I would like to program one or more nano drones in order to perform repeatable trajectories indoor. For example:
- Take off from the center of a sport arena (indoor)
- Each drone goes to one of the corners of the arena
- The drones land
- The drones come backs at the origin

Everything programmed, no manual flight. I guess I should develop some indoor positioning algorythm, some ranging features, and I don't know what else.. I am a absolute beginner in this

How could I implement this ?
Is there already some code ready to be loaded on the board ?
Thanks for helping! :)

Drones are becoming popular. Beginning first for military functions, their programs are rising day by day which range from wildlife research into emergency aid and live coverage of events etc.. Whether sites have to be researched, crop damage has to be taken to be tracked at a distance, drones' professional services are availed. So much so, Amazon and Google are currently working to send the day daily things using drones.

It is certainly not any easy task at all. For micro-drones - even less, due to lower load capacity.

Here is an option for Precise (±2cm) Indoor Positioning:

  So cool! Is the drone controlled by a pilot or the onboard flight controller?
