The Extension and Implementation of the Autonomous Movement Framework
Theo Riviere, Hector Gutierrez Ayala, Jeremy Hajek · 2017
The internet changes the way we do business, with companies like Amazon, Uber, and Google reshaping the way commerce is done delivering packages. Companies, such as Nokia, are demonstrating drone fleets being used for public safety over large scale desert areas. Our research asked, could this technology be replicated on a small scale for independent operators to use? The initial goal of this project was to design and develop a framework to control and manage drone fleets for use in search and rescue and disaster relief. We were able to design a platform and framework that integrated common off-the-shelf drones and accessible Windows computers and Android Phones to build and deploy our Autonomous Movement Framework.
