Here we discuss the approach we will use to solve said problem. Similar to [http://cstwiki.wtb.tue.nl/index.php?title=PRE2016_3_Groep19#Approach these guys]. I (daniel) think it's a nice idea.

In order to get to a feasible design solution, we will do research on following fields:
 
*'''Topographical Disorientation disorder'''. We will be answering following questions:
** Which daily-life tasks are affected by Topographical Disorientation?
** How many people are affected by Topographical Disorientation?
** How does one reach the people suffering from Topographical Disorientation?
* '''Human interaction'''. We will be answering following questions:
** What is the optimal height and distance for the drone to be away from the user? Here we will also consider operation indoors in e.g. a university building and outdoors e.g. in traffic.
** How will the drone communicate with the user (e.g. when the user should turn left or right / when the battery is low)?
** How will the user recognize their drone if there are multiple drones?
* '''Non-technical aspects of drones'''.
** What is the legal status of drones in The Netherlands?
* '''Technical aspects of drones'''. We will be answering following questions:
** How does the drone fly?
** How can we ensure that the drone can operate long enough?
*** How much electricity does it take to fly?
*** What is the current state of the art w.r.t. battery capacity for batteries that can be used in drones?
** What are possible charging techniques?
** Will the drone operate in extreme weather conditions? If so, how?
* '''Software aspects of drones'''. We will be answering following questions:
** How will the drone navigate from point A to B?
*** Which pathfinding technique is the best one to be used?
*** How will the drone avoid obstacles in its path?
*** How will the drone account for live changes (e.g. in traffic)?
** How can the drone keep an appropriate distance from the user, whilst still remaining visible at all times?

Organization

The group composition, deliverables, milestones, planning and task division can be found on the organization page.

Brainstorm

To explore possible subjects for this project, a brainstorm session was held. Out of the various ideas, the Follow-Me Drone was chosen to be our subject of focus.

Problem Statement

Here we will discuss the final problem we are solving.

Approach

In order to get to a feasible design solution, we will do research on following fields:

  • Topographical Disorientation disorder. We will be answering following questions:
    • Which daily-life tasks are affected by Topographical Disorientation?
    • How many people are affected by Topographical Disorientation?
    • How does one reach the people suffering from Topographical Disorientation?
  • Human interaction. We will be answering following questions:
    • What is the optimal height and distance for the drone to be away from the user? Here we will also consider operation indoors in e.g. a university building and outdoors e.g. in traffic.
    • How will the drone communicate with the user (e.g. when the user should turn left or right / when the battery is low)?
    • How will the user recognize their drone if there are multiple drones?
  • Non-technical aspects of drones.
    • What is the legal status of drones in The Netherlands?
  • Technical aspects of drones. We will be answering following questions:
    • How does the drone fly?
    • How can we ensure that the drone can operate long enough?
      • How much electricity does it take to fly?
      • What is the current state of the art w.r.t. battery capacity for batteries that can be used in drones?
    • What are possible charging techniques?
    • Will the drone operate in extreme weather conditions? If so, how?
  • Software aspects of drones. We will be answering following questions:
    • How will the drone navigate from point A to B?
      • Which pathfinding technique is the best one to be used?
      • How will the drone avoid obstacles in its path?
      • How will the drone account for live changes (e.g. in traffic)?
    • How can the drone keep an appropriate distance from the user, whilst still remaining visible at all times?

Solution

Here we discuss our solution. If it exists of multiple types of sub-problems that we defined in the problem statement section, then use separater sections (placeholders for now).

Placeholder Partial Solution 1

Placeholder Partial Solution 2

Placeholder Partial Solution 3

Simulation

A section for a simulation if we want one.

Conclusion

A conclusion section if we want one.
