Description
Summary:Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) drone such as Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is a flying mobile robot which has been popularly researched for the application of search and rescue mission. In this project, Robot Operating System (ROS), a free open source platform for developing robot control software is used to develop a tag recognition program for drone movement. ROS is popular with mobile robotics application development because sensors data transmission for robot control system analysis will be very handy with the use of ROS nodes and packages once the installation and compilation is done correctly. It is expected that the drone can communicate with a laptop via ROS nodes for sensors data transmission which will be further analyzed and processed for the close-loop control system. The developed program consisting of several packages is aimed to demonstrate the recognition of different tags by the drone which will be transformed into a movement command with respect to the tag recognized; in other words, a visual-based navigation program is developed.
