Project Background
Urbi is an open source cross-platform software platform in C++.
Urbi is used to develop applications for robotics and complex systems.
Urbi also includes the urbiscript orchestration language which is a parallel and event-driven script language. UObject components can be plugged into urbiscript and appear as native objects that can be scripted to specify their interactions and data exchange.
Urbi Open source
• Fixed the AR Drone and C programming codes so that AR Drone is able to fly again.
• Remapping the joystick and the controller so that the AR Drone can fly with joystick freely using the AR.Drone SDK.
• Moved to Urbi and the OpenCV platform instead of C programming for the robotic control.
• Moved to Gustai Lab and Gustai Studio as new platform that can control the AR Drone.
Progress
Basic Drone Control In Gostai lab
Gostai studio simu-link style programming
Goal : To use the gostai lab to command the drone to complete various image processing based tasks
Future goals• Use Urbi to control the AR Drone.• Make the AR Drone to track a ball and follow it. • Track different objects (other than balls) such as
people.• Explore tasks other than tracking for the AR Drone.
