Copter: add object avoidance using sonar or lidar #131

Closed rmackay9 closed 7 years ago

rmackay9 commented 11 years ago

Possibly other types of sensors could be used as well like hokuyo laser range finder

squilter commented 10 years ago

This is more of a hardware problem. The right sensor just hasn't been invented yet. A Kinect is heavy and requires a separate onboard computer. The Hokuyo cost as much as a used car.

Actually, this one is being worked on at the moment by Rob and Randy.... The intention is an SF02 and a 330 degree servo, a new library as well for future enhancements....

squilter commented 10 years ago

Cool. Here's a wiki page about that sensor that I just found.

rmackay9 commented 10 years ago

@squilter, Thanks for all your help, it's possible you're being a little too aggressive in closing down issues.

squilter commented 10 years ago

@rmackay9 sorry, I'll tone it down. There's just an overwhelming number of legitimate issues :)

haygood commented 10 years ago

You are both right. Sometimes you have to break out the chainsaw and see what survives. Closed can apparently be reopened if there is still interest, so it might be OK to crank up the chainsaw once a year.

Meanwhile, 3DR has some ideas on the issue, including a hope, at least, for machine vision obstacle avoidance and follow me based on optically recognizing "me": http://3drobotics.com/2014/09/3d-robotics-partners-intel-develops-new-drone-power/

proficnc commented 10 years ago

Yes, lots more to come here!
Keep up the Kull, issues that still have followers can be reopened...

rmackay9 commented 7 years ago

after more than 2 years we are finally getting close :-). object avoidance using 360degree lidar is in AC3.4 with more improvements to be released in AC3.5.

rmackay9 commented 7 years ago

This is included in AC3.5 so closing.
