• 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 the height map and obstacles.
