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 software system that enables our aircraft to detect objects on the ground, position itself directly above the object, and then drop a payload on the object.
Designing software to align the aircraft over the drop location
Using Python and ROS2 to write code for the aircraft
We run all this software on a Jetson Nano with Ubuntu Linux
Use YOLOv8 to detect objects
We identify the object's location and input the coordinates into our Autonomous Navigation System.
