A drone is generally an unmanned aerial vehicle that can be categorised as an Aerial robotic device. So, robots or the robotic vehicle have basic requirements (both hardware and software) to operate and perform specialized task.
One of the essential hardware requirements is the main computer module for the proposed system. In recent years Raspberry Pi became a common computer that is being used to create a drone. In this article, we are going to discuss about how to build an advanced drone using a Raspberry Pi computer.
First of all, Raspberry Pi is an affordable, advanced, small and very common computer device that is primarily being used for programming purposes. The major reasons for picking Raspberry Pi as a great choice are its small speed, open-source programming background, operating system, and affordability.
Then we should discuss the flight controller for our computer module. although there are several options , the most commonly used flight controller type is pixhawk.
Then we can talk about building more advanced drones easily with Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi is a modern computer device that can perform more advanced tasks and functions. Raspberry Pi is also a better choice for autonomous drones. We can program autonomous mission scripting. We can use Python programming language and libraries such as Drone kit, py-Serial, and pymavlink are useful for creating a Python script. Basically, we can control the movement such as hoovering, landing and take-off. we can also use artificial intelligence by implementing technologies such as computer vision in to drones for autonomous activities.
With the advanced functionality offered by Raspberry Pi drones, the possibilities are virtually limitless. Whether you are a hobbyist, a researcher, or an entrepreneur, building and programming your own Raspberry Pi drone can provide you with the tools to embark on exciting and innovative projects.
