Surveillance/Inspection drones
Project Details
Problem Statement
How to move large objects through buildings that are under construction, using drones.
- Robotics: Using (potentially multiple) drones for moving objects around.
- USE: Interesting for Enterprise, but can lead to hazardous situations for users and bystanders (society).
Objectives
Create a model and algorithm for piloting drones through a multi-floor construction site.
Assumptions
- The drones move in unison.
Users and what do they require?
- Construction companies
- The drones will have to be able to have sufficient lifting power.
- The drones will have to operate by themselves
- The drones will have to be able to detect and avoid all living agents.
- The system has to adhere to safety regulations.
Requirements
- Equipment failure can be dealt with
- Object detection in continuous environment.
Approach & Milestones
- Have concrete idea.
- Have a basic model (single floor, all obstacles at same height).
- Have a advanced model (multiple floors, all obstacles at same height).
- Take obstacle height into account.
- Detect and avoid other agents (other drones / humans).
Deliverables
An algorithm that finds a path through the building that is under construction, that the drones can follow + explanation of drone output for certain examples.
Who does what?
T.B.D: It is as of yet unclear who will do what. As we are all software science students, we are all capable of the same things and can therefore be used for all tasks. Furthermore, we do not find it is usefull to make a planning, in case the plan is not accepted.
State of the Art
To keep this wiki clutter free, the page PRE2017 3 Group 17 - State of the Art has been created, containing several articles that support the attainability of this project.
