Homemade UAV Drone
This project involved the development of a UAV (unmannned areal vehicle). The unit was intended to experiment with and demonstrate the principles of unmanned flight, robotic programming, aerodynamic principals, GPS tracking, aerial surveilance and to be used as an aerial photography platform. Although, from the outset, the plan was to develop most of the project myself, it soon became clear that a bigger community of dedicated guys were already developing and collaborating to put together some great stuff... these are the guys from a group called DIY Drones - what I learnt from them was that the online/hobbyist community truly can accmplish great things, this stuff is comprable to what defense contractors are achieving on multi-mullion pound budgets...
