It's a plane! No, it's an open-source autonomous quad-copter. In collaboration with the Portland State University Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept., Galois mentored a Spring semester Senior Capstone Project to build an ArduCopter. The ArduCopter is based on the Arduino open-source hardware platform, and includes infrared sensors (collision avoidance), sonar and barometer (altitude hold), GPS (location), magnetometer (direction), and gyro (stabilization). This talk will include a description of the ArduCopter and it's operation, including the trials and tribulations of building and testing one. Of course, the talk will include cool videos.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://corp.galois.com/blog/2011/5/27/tech-talk-building-an-open-source-autonomous-quad-copter.html">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
