Hi Phantom Pilots;
Here is the project I'm working on - take a drone and use it to do inspections in a metal building, in the mountains and oh by the way we don't want to be in the building when we fly.
So Engineering challenges to solve
1) No GPS - Do you know of RTK systems that we could deploy 2-3 base stations and have the drone reference position from these and/or Ground control Points?
2) No one there to charge - some electronics and switches to create external charge points and switching that we can "Dock" the drone on a charging landing pad or a robot arm to connect the cable
3) Automating flight plans - not core in the market yet, but an autonomous flight with possible remote oversight.
Super fun times
Things I was thinking
- Customize the heck out of Drone Deploy - software joy/hardware joy
- Partner with Drone company to extend their platform
- open source nav + some R&D extending the Signal of Opportunity possiblitly
