. {{attachment:microbee_gva.jpg}} Microbee is a four-rotor model helicopter based on the [[http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/en/MikroKopter|Mikrokopter]] system design. It's "brains" consists of 8 ARM-based microprocessors connected to various sensors and motors. It's equipped with the latest electronics hardware and is capable of photography, vision guided autonomous navigation as well as normal radio-control flying by a human being. An advanced vision recognition system is currently being developed based on the high performance, low power Texas Instruments OMAP3 platform. |
