Love electronics. Microsoft .NET developer. Know Arduino and XBee programming.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Current interest is developing a Civilian Grade Distributed Unmanned Aircraft System Network for serving communities as an extension of current programs and laying the foundation for a multi-purpose UAS network connecting community with police and traffic control to generate revenue by cutting cost, increasing efficiency and enabling paid commercial services. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), replacing the former Unmanned Arial Vehicle (UAV) acronym. The Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) is a radio controlled quad, hex or eight-rotor helicopter that’s also capable of flying autonomously based on the uploaded information and sensor input managed by AutoPilot (on board flight computer). Let’s leave the word “drone” to the popular media. It carries at least 2lbs of payload and stay in the air for at least 15 minutes. The strength will be in the number of units not in the strength of the individual unit. The ultimate goal is to have a network of UAS’ communicating to each other, the cloud computer network and ground operators via radio or cellphone network and carry out missions autonomously utilizing high level of automation, rule based decision making and ultimately Artificial Intelligence (AI). Welcome to the CSN (Civil SkyNet)!

Ivan Farkas replied to Mike Mac's discussion APM vs. PX4 – what to get?
"I'd like to be involved with the PX4 development.
I'd like to develop XBee Drone-to-Drone communication and Cellular communication as a backup for radio.
I am also interested in machine vision by PX4FLOW.
Where do I start?"

Ivan Farkas commented on Jesse's blog post Upgrade to APM 2.5 or PX4?
"Do you think ArduPilot will be upgraded to use Arduino Due?APM 3.0+ :-)I would chose APM 3.0+ with Arduino Due for now and switch to PX4 as the software gets more mature and the price drops to half."
