Complete Indoor Autonomous Navigation (AUVSI Challenge 2009)

OMG!

This is extremely real-time!!!

BTW: if someone wants to dupe people, he never remains such a vivid evidence (like that guy you found) in his/her video that you can easily discover it!

Cool Stuff and Congrats on the competition!!! ... no wonder you've been quiet lately on the X-3D-BL hobby line front. For autonomous naysayers ... You can always do what Holger does ... start it and show the Tx on the ground unattended in real-time as the flight continues. The mapping SW rules. Are you using a Spektrum or 72Mhz Rx?

72Mhz rx

[ghemann11]

Yes, unfortunately, that clip has the safety pilot in it. Of course, it is a video, and there is no real way of proving it is autonomous. But really, were not putting in 14 hours a day for nothing!

[ssyafiq2]

great work! What algorithm that you use to plan the path towards the goal?

[bkjeep]

was pretty good till the external pilot's 72mhz ration antenna showed. Ha ha.

Is this using ROS?

[ghemann11]

No, it is using the carmen robotics package.

The view of the mapping software is very cool btw.

[dennisg69]

Is that barefoot person (seen through the "window") holding an RC radio? It sure looks like that's an antenna pointing through the window.

Is this really autonomous?
