"@Nikola the pathing is derived from whatever 3D modeling environment they're using. You too can build a 3D light bright with an open source 3D modeling tool such as Blender. Check out particle paths/meshes. Once you have your model and simulation,…"
"Future headline: "10,000 drones fall from sky when power to network servers fail." Intel seems to be more focused on marketing rather than innovation. It's hard to respect an organization that has so many resources when they use digital "smoke and…"
"For those that want to develop their own version of this, Open CV is your friend. Literally, an afternoon of coding, if you have all the hardware. No need for deep learning either if you're simply using unique shape/color objects to detect a target."
"So good. Bravo Hector. Looking forward to seeing more of your Paparazzi UAV adventures. Cheers!!"
"Hi Dmitry, I'm curious to how many different UAV designs you have tested with your system and how you verify there isn't any interference based on wiring, PCB design, etc...? I would love to see an autonomous aircraft approach your system, charge…"
"Interesting idea. I'm guessing you will need to shield any conductive components since you are injecting the entire craft into a magnetic field. Maybe instead of using inductive magnetic fields, a laser based charging system might work.…"
"Insitu makes its profits by supplying the military industrial complex. Not even close to DIY anything. I guess killing machines are becoming less profitable. Next up, Precision Ag ......... Alert: intruder in the potato field."
"Hector, Are you going to be presenting at the conference? If so, I'll try and make it to the conference. Nice work. Really enjoyed the video. Cheers!"
"Nice work. Looking forward to seeing the autonomous takeoff/landing sequences as well. Those control surfaces on the nose are brilliant. Props to TUDelft and ENAC. Cheers."
"It would have been nice if they just made a commercial about the challenges of getting hundreds of robots to collaborate and show that instead of trying to dupe the audience into thinking it was part of a live, real-time event. They opened the roof…"
Ascending Technologies showed off some of their technology during the Super Bowl Halftime show. If you have seen the video, the formations look awesome in the night sky. The only issue was that the sequences were taped days prior to the Super Bowl…
"Hi Marc Dornan,
Here's a link to the wiki page that describes the semantics and syntax of flight plans as used in Paparazzi UAV:Flight Plans
Included in the page is the discussion of waypoints. Here's the link to that section:

"Very happy with all of my 1bitsquared products and proud to provide my customers with your top notch hardware. Thanks Piotr for all the hard work and commitment to open-source efforts. Cheers."
"@Alex maybe let your airframe set in direct sunlight on a warm day and measure the the thermal characteristics internally as a bench mark maybe? 30C doesn't seem like a high enough ambient temperature test and with the external surface being black…"
"That looks great. Nice design. I'm curious about some of the physical dynamics related to heat and vibration. Do you have data related to a working prototype of your design? Does it stay cool internally? Are you able to isolate vibration to a level…"
