The Drone
Our drone was developed in association with Avular Eindhoven, a manufacturer of drones. Some parts are specifically designed for light shows.
Z Trajectory
Last week, we have been working on including the z coordinate in our trajectory. We now know how to include it in the trajectory and will continue to work on it this week.
Top View
This video shows the top view of one of the trajectories!
Our first demo!
Our first demo will be at 19th of April at TMC. We will fly one drone and have a screen showing the animation synchronized with two other drones.
New show concept
This is our current concept for the show! With respect to the previous one, we integrated LEDs and music. We also improved the motion.
The Three Trajectories with the Avular drones
Last week we made a lot of progress! We got the drone from our collaboration with Avular to move in the three trajectories The first video shows our drone moving in an eight motion. The second three videos show the drone moving in our three trajectories. Lastly there is a clip which compares camera and
Full trajetory with two ground robots
We got two ground robots to make the full trajectory! Check the video below to see the full trajectory in the dark, in which you can see the two ground robots through the attached LEDs.
Ground Robot Working Faster
Last week we unfortunately had some bugs with the robot path following. However we fixed these bugs and now the robots can make a full trajectory even faster then before! In the video you can see the trajectory of our second ground robot. The path following should also work for our third ground robot, so
Two ground robot trajectories
On October 18, 2017, we managed to complete for a ground robot to make a single trajectory again from the concept show that we have for the drones. However, this time we used the ultrasound indoor positioning system instead of the top camera. Moreover, we also manage to perform the trajectory of a second agent.
Ground Robot Trajectory
On October 11, 2017, we managed to complete, for the first time, for a ground robot to make a single trajectory from the concept show we have for the drones. That is, the x,y, coordinates and the orientation with respect to z, which should be performed by a ground robot. Check out the videos!
Drone flying outdoors
On September 27, 2017, we got to fly the amazing curiosity drone produced by Avular for the first time outdoors. We flew it outside and obtained measurements from an ultra-wide band system. We plan to use this drone for the show! Check out the video!
