VIMAN

Overview

  • We have built a simulation environment for testing algorithm implementations on quadcopter in Gazebo.
  • Incorporated tele-operation and semi-autonomous functionality using altimeter, IMU, and camera.
  • Optimized Z-direction mapping using DBSCAN algorithm.

More information regarding the development process is documented in the website.
