About Me:
I am a software developer with a background in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning. I also have a number of interests across the scientific spectrum including Synthetic Biology, Computational Neuroscience,Quantum Computing and Nonlinear Dynamical Systems.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I would like to explore and asses the potential of the autonomous quadrocopter platform for practical real world applications, indoor or outdoor, in problem domains including transportation, construction, assisting the elderly at home. As standalone units or part of a constellation, problem specific architecture. I'm also quite interested in the commercialization of UAVs, industry standards and infrastructure needed to make UAV apps widespread and usefull.

"Mike, if you are aiming for autonomous navigation including obstacle avoidance you will need something like an i7 processor, in order to run the entire stack in real time.
That is from perception (Visual SLAM), state estimation, occupancy mapping,…"

"Hi Jonathan,
I am trying to do something similar - connect an Odroid U3 to APM2.6's UART2 port. Can you give me some detail on how you did this, eg type/spec of headers, pitch. Is there an ready made FTDI USB cable I can get hold of for this?"

Hello folks,WHAT: I am trying to work out what it would take and whether it is feasible to put a sensor like the Kinect or PrimeSense variant onto an Arducopter.WHY: Need a low cost quadrocopter AI research platform for Machine Learning, Semantic…
"Hello folks,
I'm glad I found out about this meet just in time. Although I'm new to this forum, flying and UAV specific hardware, I have a long standing interest in autonomous drones and have done a fair bit of experimenting in the past with…"
