Navigating cluttered indoor environments presents a significant challenge for aerial robots, requiring agility, speed, and a high level of reliability to avoid collisions. This project aims to address this challenge by developing advanced algorithms for lightweight drones, enabling them to reach target location and carrying out delivery efficiently and safely. Utilizing camera data to map and avoid obstacles, we create a system that not only maps and perceives the environment but also navigates its path to the destination. Included in the educational content, this project demonstrates the effectiveness of the technology through practical applications and real-world testing, helping the next generation of engineers accumulate technical experience and broaden their understanding of drone navigation algorithms and applications in system integration. It has a milestone impact on education and development of the drone field.
