Introduction

Project: Robots everywhere (0LAUK0)

Subject: Detection of people by using drones equipped with IR and heat sensors.

Applications: - Finding refugees in the sea
              - local security and criminals detection

Objectives

general: - showing that drones can be implemented in substitution of regular surveillance           vehicles/cameras, consequently reducing costs and risks for operators.

(PUR - Principle of Unnecessary Risk)

- autonomous motion (User)

1: - Reducing costs for refugee search in open sea (Society) - Increase relative number of rescued refugees (Society)

2: - reduce crime numbers (Society) - have a better understanding of crime distribution (Society) - make surveillance cheaper and more efficient (Enterprise & Society)

APPROACH

- Equip the drone with IR sensors/camera. (Drone given) - Program the drone and tune the sensor (e.g. find the treshold voltages) to detect the different values. - link the obtained data to an environmental structure (e.g. environment heat model). - adjust the program in order to map properly the perimeter and consider the external heat deviation. - Act on the environment under inspection (e.g. transmitting signal to operator).

Planning

To organize the workload of the project a planning is required, where the main requirements and deadlines are set, together with the task division.

Logbook

Weekly the progress of the group is going to be reported in this logbook. The purpose is to keep the full group up to date with the progress of each sub group. Moreover, it is useful to be always able to compare the actual progress with the planning.
