Initial robotic concepts
After discussing various topics we came up with this final list of projects that seemed interesting to us.
- Drone interception
- A tunnel digging robot
- A fire fighting drone for finding people
- Delivery uav - (blood in Africa, parcels, medicine, etc.)
- Voice control robot - (general technique that has many applications)
- A spider robot that can be used to get to hard to reach places
Chosen project: drone interception
Problem statement
How drones can be used to intercept other drones in airborne situations.

State of the Art (SotA)
In this section the State of the Art (or SotA) concerning our project will be discussed.
One way of catching a drone is by shooting at it with a net. Extensive research has been done on shooting nets, mainly for wildlife purposes [1][2]
In order to aim at a moving target from a moving drone, a way of tracking the target is needed. Multiple ways of doing this have been researched:
