Digital Engineering Projects: Flying Swarm
Everyone who wants to participate in one of the projects needs to attend the first meeting!
The meeting date changed
The date of the first meeting is the 25.10.2017 at 13:00 in the SwarmLab G29-035.
In Winter 2017, we offer at least two DigiEng projects:
Energy Awareness
The goal of this topic is to enable to copter to evaluate its own energy consumption in-flight. To this end, the existing voltage sensor needs to be accompigned with a current sensor to compute the energy drained from the battery. Afterwards, the energy consumption of the copter needs to be evaluated in special flight maneuvers to establish an energy consumption model.
3D Magnetic Mapping
The goal of this topic is to use the existing magnetometer sensors on-board the copter to create a 3D map of magnetic fields in a indoor environment. To this end, the usability of the sensors need to be tested. After the creation of the map, the map will either be used for localization or to compensate for the parasitic indoor magnetic fields to enable a reliable heading estimation of the copters.
