Description

An Obstacle Detection and Avoidance Device for Multirotor UAVs is proposed in order to prevent accidents and loss of assets due to UAV collisions. This device will be able to interface with a Pixhawk Flight Controller and establish communications reliably to send commands and alter the default waypoints when obstacles are detected in the flight path. A sensor array and a trajectory planning algorithm will also be designed to ensure the performance of the proposed system.
