Project description
- Development of a high-resolution sensor system for spherical environment perception (3D) for load drones in the field of transportation and urban air mobility.
- Sensor data fusion (camera, lidar, radar) and transmission of the data to the ground station for visualization for the pilot.
- Development of object detection algorithms for performing automatic flight maneuvers and warning the pilot in dangerous situations.
- Miniaturization and adaptation of sensor systems for drone applications.
