Description: Choose sensors that will enable the UAV to autonomously "see" all aspects of the environment. Probably a combination of multiple sensors. Capable of sensing a changing environment. Ability to work indoor and outdoor. Chose Laser Range Finder, IMU, and Kinect
Person Responsible: Whole team
Dependencies: Structural team (lift capacity), Human Sensing Team (Kinect)
Fit Criterion: Weight that is less than lift capacity given to Nav/Map team. Sense environment completely. Have to consider error and accuracy of sensors.
Supporting Materials: Intro to Autonomous Mobile Robotics book
