Project Description

Building the Future of Drone2Data To Fight Climate Change and Food Security

Mapping real-world maps made easy Climate change is perhaps the biggest threat facing humanity today. Climate change creates a drier and hotter climate, leading to wildfires that could further accelerate climate change. This forms a perfect positive feedback loop that could shrink our time to address the looming climate crisis. An early fire detection system aimed at detecting fire in the most inaccessible areas or during the night time, when and where the conditions don’t help their early detection, could be an important tool in this battle against climate change. What is more, Project Themistoklis aims to make it easy for anyone to map the real world using drones. That could form the basis for many climate solutions. The NLP model can generate navigation plans for the drones and send them movement commands. We aim to use drones to capture the real world using cameras and other sensors. The captured data can be used to detect wildfire, survey biodiversity, monitor forest health, and provide valuable information that was once inaccessible. This drone2data tech stack we are developing will be as important in addressing food security when deployed at farms as it will be in addressing climate change.

Development Roadmap

Milestone 1 and 2 : The application will be able to connect to a server and fetch and send data

Milestone 3 : The app will be able to connect to a Tello drone and add it to the 3D world

Milestone 4 : Dryad will act like a normal drone at this stage and will be able to fly around and connect directly with the server.

Milestone 5 : The drones will be able to read actual text.

Milestone 6 : The world will be spawned on the server and drones will update it.

Milestone 7 : Additional CV functionalities

Milestone 8 : Drones will get data through radio and audio.

Milestone 9 : Tools to help builders

Milestone 10 : Weather support through the web.

Milestone 11 : 2d representation of the web in the website/app for current incidents.

Documentation, Education, and Community

We now have a vibrant community on Twitter and on our Discord server. In order to share our project's knowledge, experience, and most recent news, we will also start a blog. In terms of education, we will continue to learn by attending conferences like sub0—the polkadot developer conference in Lisbon. Additionally, we'll read academic books, journals, research papers, and articles, while also writing our own .

Additional Information

The project is both open-source and public research. It will assist users in creating datasets together for various species (trees and animals), but also assist with emerging world issues like wild fires, accidents, and others, using AI algorithms to detect early fires, humans behind debris, etc.
