I have found a project that uses 299.00 AR Drone 2.0 as the platform for search and rescue missions. This is a very good example of UAV for good uses at toy prices. Details about the project are…
"I see your target specs would be like this one: http://skydroid.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/thermal_..."
"Interesting. What about support? I do like that AeroMapper a lot more based on the details on the sites between them. "
"he was probably doing something like this: http://www.urbiforge.org/index.php/Projects/Urbi4ARDrone"
"He switched computers. The one he was using definitely talked directly to the ARDrone. Watch the video again. "
"I'm curious, did no one demo arducopter flying the same way? Surely it should be able to fly better than an ARDrone right? "
"Very nice to see a kid who's interested in these things though. Like the guy said his other kids have no interest. "
"He's lucky no one in the audience didn't take advantage of the no root password for ARDrone. Just telnet to 192.168.1.1 over wifi (connect to the drones wifi first) and you're in as root...if one is flying over your house go in as root and reboot ;]"
"Paparazzi is alive and well and growing all the time. The core is ENAC which can't profit from Paparazzi. If are "hard core" open source there you go. If you are just hard core 3DR then this is your greatest dream. Even more bling, more advertising,…"
"I had that same thought. Police helicopters fly overhead all the time. They are are 100s of times more expensive. The drones provide inferior capabilities. I'd say no matter what the police wanted these people would hate it and fight. I'm sorry but…"
"This Paparazzi project appears very advanced. Considering all the information on the Web about Paparazzi winning competitions I see so little here about it. Thank you Chris for sharing this with us. "
"@Chris: You are the expert. They say fully autonomous. What more is required to be as you say "full UAV"? Is this something APM is doing now? PX4? Your comments are not clear. Do you know something and are not sharing? "
"Hey that's good news then. I have been burned buying first release things before though. I will follow this thread and look at the manual, schematics for now. Thank you for your help with my questions."
"Oh, ok, I thought because it was on the Store it was available to all. I will wait. So when the hardware designs are released that tells me it's ready for everyone? "
"I just missed this. I am planning to take vacation in Montreal in two weeks. Thank you for posting the photos. "
"I have an AR.Drone and would like to use PX4 on it. I thought to be open source the design files and software must be available. It is important I have something open because I plan to travel with it outside the USA.
I did a search on open source…"
