Open Source Aerial Drone Requirements + Value Proposition

Product

• Auto landing with obstacle avoidance algorithm for range extension.
• Uses open hardware controller (not Pi) but Beagle Bone or other full open design.
• Fully scalable in thrust - based on external power stages.
• Vertical camera gimbal
• Night vision camera
• Thermal homing

Process

• Good test bed as a mature open product - for open source productization sprint method development.
• Mature tech
• Many subject matter experts
• Test bed for Remote Fabrication.

Process Development Discussion

Peter -

Are you hirable for open source development work? We are opensourcing a simple drone and heavy drone (Dronecoria open source heavy drone, and their light one) which are the most open we know (OSHWA certified). We are working with their founder Lot Amoros.

We are developing an open source product development sprint methodology where the goal is to productize in 24 hours using expertise-embedded systems methods. That requires the presence of subject matter experts. Would you be interested in this? It involves developing fully automated CAD documentation workflows using compiled schemas. I am thinking with your intersection of drone and AI knowledge, you would be an important contributor. And I probably don't know about a bunch of other relevant skill sets up your sleeve. The goal of the sprint is to productize as drop ship, turnkey products, and remote fabrication kits. Remote fabrication means a pay-to-play experience where a remote person can build their own drone via remote control of productive infrastructure staffed by a local, minimally trained producer.

Thanks, Marcin
