Test Flights

[steup]

• Define Scenario
• Fly and log data

[maxct]

Notes from the meeting today:

• Starting
• Flying without input (with wall avoidance)
• Flying a defined path

All Flights should take part on the same height!

[maxct]

Scenarios referring the 4th single copter scenario:

• idealized
  • Same as single copter scenario with an additional copter (same height, 1m distance at 180 degrees). The sonar sensor of the second copter should point towards the first copter
• realistic
  • 1 copter (rc_passthrough) should stay at center, second copter flys in wall_avoidance mode, 1 min
  • 1 copter (rc_passthrough) should stay at center, second copter (rc_passthrough) surrounds the first copter, 1 min

Scenario update of the 1-2th single copter scenario:

• first 10 seconds copters are on the ground
• autonomous flight of two copters:
  • both copters in rc_passthrough.
  • one in wall_avoidance mode, second in rc_passthrough. Pilot of second tries avoid first copter. 2 minutes of flight. Then change copters and do the same.
  • both copters in wall_avoidance mode. 2 minutes of flight.
  • maybe, it would be necessary to change some parameters of wall_avoidance.

Some ideas:

• find stable spots.
• find secure distance between copters.

Multi-Copter flight scenarios based on 3d one from single copter case:

• one copter is flying at one spot, another is 2 meters from it and moves towards 1 meter
• one copter is flying at one spot, another moves 1-2 meters orthogonally to first direction
• one copter is flying at the center of arena, another moves around it from one side to another

for all situations play with wall-avoid and rc_passthrough modes (the best case is to check all combinations).

Most of experiments were done and data were collected.
