About

This is part of a larger package of data acquisition for the Seed Eco-Home

Specification

Identify industry standards for 3D scanning, photography, racing, military, and cargo copter, wing, tailsitter, and other drones relevant to site and area surveying, maintence, security, and cargo delivery.
- Weight, cost, flight time, cargo capacity, motor specification, battery specification, controller specification
Identify industry standards for open source cargo drones. Same as above.
Identify cost of acquisition for open-sourcing proprietary (default) versions from companies, individuals, organizations.
From the above, select a team of 12 technology specialists to develop:
- Controller - must be Beagle Bone, Arduino, not R-Pi as needs to be open source DIN SPEC 3105 compliant
- Frame - must be 3D printable, or COTS
- Motor system - needs to include range of options from COTS to digital fabrication at cost of materials
- Gimbal system - for vibration control in video
Protection and mobility
- Water proof
- cold temperature
- EM frequencies in all ranges
- Underwater
- Water landing
- Roving (flying car)
- Swarming - control over a swarm with inter-swarm communication AI
Sensors
- Night vision camera - range of resolution from a pixel to 4k.
- Thermal camera - range of resolution from a pixel to 4k. For detailed thermal scanning for heat performance
- Motion sensor camera - largely software. For automated, on-demand pest control, security, and other motion-activated applications
- Ultrasound - for internal 3D scanning of structures
- Wifi detector - concept as [1]
- Laser
