Autonomous Follower Drone
Background:
The Autonomous Follower drone is a system in which a "follower" drone will be capable of following a single "leader" drone. The follower drone will be capable of maintaining a threshold distance away from the leader drone, as well as maintain same elevation as the leader drone. This project aims to improve current drone communication systems so that surveillance operations conducted by drones can be more coordinated.
Goals & Objectives
Manipulate a commercial drone so that it may follow another drone of any type autonomously. Develop a system in order to calculate the location of both drones and provide the necessary adjustments to the follower drone via a Raspberry Pi.
