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 drone to autonomously deliver a package to a target placed on the ground.
Designing software to align the aircraft over the drop location and drop the package at that 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 the target
Identify the target location and input the coordinates into our Autonomous Navigation System.
