• Autonomous flight by an electric prototype drone.

• Initiated by the ground operator, it takes off, visits waypoints in geodetic coordinates, and lands on the station. Lidar-based collision avoidance is running.

My role:
- Developed GNSS/INS to use external RTK GNSS with DJI A3
- Developed the path following algorithm
- Developed the collision avoidance algorithm

• Beyond-line-of-sight autonomous flight by a hybrid electric drone.

• Accepts mission command generated by the route planner, visits waypoints in geodetic coordinates, and lands on the station.

My role:
- Managed flight control software (PX4) and tuned controllers
- Developed the route planner that provides a minimum-cost route for power line inspection flight, traversing all the power lines, and avoiding collisions with heightmap and obstacles.
