The software sub-team is responsible for developing the autonomous navigation and vision recognition systems for the aircraft.
Our main goal is to develop a fully autonomous package delivery software system. The software will enable our aircraft to detect a target on the ground, position itself directly above it, and deliver a package to the target.
Designing software to align the aircraft over the drop location
Using Python and ROS2 to write code for the aircraft
Working within a Docker development environment
Developing on a Jetson Orin NX 16gb running Ubuntu 22
Using custom YOLOv8 models to detect targets and objects
Identify the object's location and input the coordinates into our Autonomous Navigation System.
