Project Summary

We plan on engineering a sensory unmanned aerial multirotor quadcopter from scratch which will not need any human intervention during its flight. if it encounters an obstacle, It won't collide. Obstacles will be detected using sensors mainly Lidar, Radar, Ultrasonic, Infrared or optical flow sensors. On encountering an obstacle, the data from the sensors will be fed to an onboard computer which will be running an obstacle detection and collision avoidance algorithm. That algorithm will form the basis of the instructions issued by the onboard computer for avoiding that obstacle.

Project Objectives

1. Assembly of a quad from scratch, by integrating all the Hardware Equipment required for the UAV.
2. To perform a test flight, using RC/Transmitter.
3. To perform an autonomus flight without any RC/Transmitter.
4. To design of a Collision avoidance algorithm and its implementation on the UAAV.

Project Implementation Method

1. Integration of all the Hardware necessary for the UAV.
2. Integration of the necessary sensors with the companion computer.
3. Integration of the companion computer with the flight controller for managing the flight incase of encountering an obstacle.
4. Design and Implementation of the collision detection algorithm on the flight controller through the companion computer.

Benefits of the Project

1. Will make a drone truly pilotless.
2. Autonomus navigation on GPS allocated wapoints, can be used for surveillance or videography, simply by attaching a camera.
3. collision avoidance makes mastering the art of flying more risk free, as the drone wouldn't collide with any obstacles.
4. Collision avoidance makes makes life and property more safer.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• A full fledged functional quadcopter (UAV) with autonomous navigation.
• A Collision Avoidance algorithm running on the quad for avoiding any collision with obstacles if it encouters.
