GRANT MISSION, IMPACT, RISKS & REFERENCE

Grant Mission:         We will create smart contracts when detecting fires etcetera, which will lead to the continuous users of the Stack coin. What is more, the users' will be using the IPFS to synchronize their data. This will show the users that blockchain can be used for a variety of reasons for the public good.

Grant Impact:               The community will be able to review the number of new users, the number of active users, and the number of engaged users.The number of new users will be monitored to see if the community is growing. The number of active users will be monitored to ensure that users are returning to the community. The number of engaged users will be monitored to ensure that users are participating in the community.

Grant Risks:                          The risks involved with this grant are mainly financial. There is always the possibility that the project will cost more than expected, or that we will not be able to find enough sponsors to cover the costs. However, we have a contingency fund in place to cover unexpected expenses, and we are confident that we will be able to find the necessary sponsors. There are no technical or other factors that would limit our ability to complete the grant.

GRANT ROADMAP & DELIVERABLES

MILESTONE 1:

Deliverable:                   Panda3D system, that can load models easily, camera, headless and headfull Panda3D examples Direct connection between Panda3D clients using TCP protocol Automatic sync between clients using the connections, with other clients (based on a pre-selected whitelist) Sync with ocean marketplace assets between other clients World Server will start as nodejs and open a python server together (both connected)

MILESTONE 2:

Deliverable:                   Create the ReactJS app Add support and commands to build for android & iOS as well as website Create the base UI Add TCP connection to the core server Add Web Request sender to the server, when there is a disconnection, to re-establish the TCP connection Add login system and user based prefferences that will saved in each account Add save login, add PIN login (assossiate pin with device id and account)

MILESTONE 3:

Deliverable:                   Add Tello Connector Add UI for custom commands for the drone (move forward, move towards - based on the drone capabilities, the ui will change) Spawn the drones in the 3D world in real-time position Generate a unique UUID for each drone in the core server

MILESTONE 4:

Deliverable:                   Finish the prototype Add connector to the client for the Dryad Create a smaller prototype Add the infrared camera Create real-time connection to the core server Add SIM support to support Mobile internet connection Create encryption & decryption algorithm for data in c++, keep it closed source - will be used to encrypt/decrypt data from the custom drones, use it as a library

MILESTONE 5:

Deliverable:                   Add car plate reader in the images Add sign reader support (car signs and billboards)

MILESTONE 6:

Deliverable:                   Generate the world map based on Google Maps data (or another API?) Add real-time object detection (simple) - Building, Tree, Plant, Car Add distance measurement for each object from the drone Update the world map based on the new measurements Generate custom Diff files, based on the updated and old map, to find differences in the world (new trees, etc) Upload the Diff files and new maps into IPFS

MILESTONE 7:

Deliverable:                   Add GPT-J support in Thoth Pathfinding in Google Maps based on drone's variables Train a GPT-J model for flight planning and command handling Add Google Maps support (or another API?) to generate flight plans from one location to another Area target control (+- miles from the target destination)

MILESTONE 8:

Deliverable:                   Add Gesture support to the drones - using Computer Vision Add Body Language detection, to enable drones to detect fear or trapped people Add Voice Recognition to the client, so the user can give voiced commands to the drones

FINAL DELIVERABLE

Deliverable:                   An application that can connect to multiple drones and to the world server.

👋 @alextitonis
Thanks for your application! We will do a pre-review and let you know if we have any immediate questions. In the mean time please refer to our review schedule here for a detailed timeline and response dates.
Best, Will

Hi @alextitonis

Thank you for the application, but we are going to pass at this time. From now until July 1, 2023 we are giving highest priority to grant applications that deliver technologies that either leverage Stacks 2.1 upgrades and/or strengthens the connection between Stacks and Bitcoin. While this is an interesting concept, we are concerned with the number of challenging on-chain and off-chain dependencies. Additionally, we only allow for first time grantees to apply for grants up to $25k.

Thanks,

Best, Will
