About Me:
I am a mechanical engineering graduate, with a masters in robotics and control. My fields of interests are mainly flying machines, and ground robots. I like flying remote helicopters as a hobby.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am co-founder of Tyto Robotics Inc., a small startup specializing in hand-sized helicopters for surveillance and tactical uses. We also are also developping brushless motor test rigs and other measurement systems for propulsion systems.

"@Thijs Sillen: we already use a PGA for the load cells, current, and voltage sensors. Making our unit support more power would make it more expensive as many components (connectors, hardware, electronics, shunt, etc...) would need to be bigger.…"
"@Greg, glad you agree to the idea :)"
"@Marin, yes you are correct, that it must be accessible, and design decisions will have to be made. But we do not want it to be cheap and a bad quality device. The hobbyking one has +-10g accuracy, which is very low. Of course we won't get 1/100g…"
"@ Greg, you raise an important question about the rig's design. I'd like to ask everyone's input on this: what is the most common motor/prop size you work with in your projects? If we support powerful motors (>5kg trust) then the whole rig will be…"
"Hi, I am Charles's parner in this project, I will pitch in from time to time to the conversation. @Martin, thanks for sharing the trust rig. Yes it is a good deal, keep in mind it has no torque sensor and cannot decouple the motor and the propeller…"
