Autonomous Drone Delivery | Taco Copters and Precision Landing

[@JonathanBaileyn2u]

From someone like myself who is just getting involved….. very nice! Thank you for making this.

[@trainingtechlabs]

From proof of concept to production. Great job 👏

[@thedronedojo]

Appreciate that @trainingtechlabs!

[@destinydost5054]

He plz I want your help in this project. I want to do it in my final year engineering.

[@justinspony]

thumbs up for the ending. also an amazing project.

[@thedronedojo]

Thanks Justin S!!! A ton of hours were put into finally being able to eat the deliverable taco, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@BharatKumar-rc8vn]

amazing project man. We are building similar project (air delivery systems) with quite a few alterations.

[@mepwnz1048]

I gave a good chuckle at the end when your eating the taco and said.... Mhmmm

[@youall21]

Wow.. really great

[@thedronedojo]

Thanks Umar!!

[@brodsfeet8154]

You program and write your own script in pc!!!! Amazing man!!!!! I like it !!!!

[@trademastery1]

amazing

[@metalfred_]

That’s really nice!! Thanks for sharing

[@thedronedojo]

No problem Freddy! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Conitor]

great vid! what drone did you use for the delivery? was it a custom built one or did you buy it online?

[@danielk9220]

Can you show us how to get 3 doritos locos tacos and a baja blast delivered?

[@bengland899]

You are the man sir.

[@arshdeepsharma3492]

You are amazing

[@thedronedojo]

Thank you Arshdeep

[@brodsfeet8154]

What cam did you used?? Does the cam has object tracking features???? Tnx

[@jackotatty]

How hard would it be to extend this to a moving platform i.e. a drone ship?

[@thedronedojo]

It shouldn't be too hard! Instead of the computer vision based precision landing, you'd probably want to change to velocity commands- but definitely feasible!

[@NoahkuboPlays]

👍 ok

[@thedronedojo]

Is Noah cool?

[@OpenBoxReviewss]

This is sick man.🤓

[@leflamantrosefpv1725]

ufo @ 4.49 on the left a white thing very rapid. lol mission complete :) amazing ;)

[@andresmolina199]

Awesome!

[@karatugba]

which camera lens did you use to focus aruco boards? and also do I have to recalibrate the camera in every usage?

[@jeremygalloway1348]

That's unsanitary. Lol. Great job man

[@josiahslaydon1693]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing your work. Is it possible to use GPS coordinates to build multiple waypoints on a route that’s not “directly” A to B? We can’t go BVLOS obviously - but as a proof of concept for a longer UAS delivery route.

[@truongta9953]

how to control gripper thank you very much

[@yahya9889]

Thanks alot! But why are some videos set private on the drone build playlist?

[@thedronedojo]

Hi there Nerd!! This is because the videos that are private are for our courses at the Drone Dojo

[@vinayakthote8411]

@@thedronedojo if I purchase your course, so will I able to make that completely

[@SilentHacks-ii4qc]

is it possible to use only the raspberry pi without a navio2 shield? I am doing my thesis on drone construction and I'm trying to limit myself from using many off-the-shelf circuit as i possibly can. I just wanted to code the necessary functions that navio2 may offer.

[@m_alshameri]

can i work with raspberry pi 3 ??

[@thedronedojo]

Definitely! Just make sure to put a heat sink on the CPU!

[@ahmetbasrialtay8423]

With which message did you convey the information obtained by the camera to the autopilot? I thought of using the "LANDING_TARGET" message. Am I on the right track?

[@ernstjunger2835]

Why do you need the visual mode to land? Are target coordinates too unprecise?

[@naytbreeze]

Wow nice work. Do you have a series on the code you used in python and how were you able to pass the code to the drone ?

[@LilConniePromotions]

How do you interact with the drone via python and without a cord?

[@NatSPlay]

Looks like he's using a personal hotspot with raspi connected and ssh's into it via the local network

[@rauljurca8423]

Hello! Do you have any ideea how much would the kit cost of I want to build one to deliver food 1.5km distance for my grandpa?

[@tunahanbolat6765]

I have a problem connecting to dronekit in real environment. Can you help with this issue?

[@thedronedojo]

I would start by changing the ArduPilot version. If you are on the Navio2 then go to any ArduCopter version in the 4.0.'s

[@harshalwarde7091]

How can we get the target altitude upto 300m? Does it require any other component?

[@gregh3729]

Hi , good video, it still lands if it doesn't find the target? I what use this for search and delivery mission

[@thedronedojo]

Hi there @xgia01! Good question. You could script this mission to not land if the target isn't seen. The way I have the script written is to continue with the land even if it doesn't see the marker.

[@gregh3729]

@@thedronedojo can i ask you where to find some document or tutorial to learn that?

[@StefanWelker]

Do you have a way to manually intervene if something goes wrong ?

[@thedronedojo]

Good question, Stefan! I certainly do. I am walking with a RC controller that can override the script if needed, and if the RC fails I can command the drone to land via the MissionPlanner ground control station connection. Safety first!

[@anjalirathi5228]

Have you used telemetry in this drone??

[@anishshrestha3607]

can we do this with pixhawk 4?

[@thedronedojo]

Hi there Anish, you can definitely do it with the pixhawk 4!

[@puveeyarasuv9470]

Can I connect pixhawk to raspberry pi 4b to control drone

[@mehmetnurisozer355]

Did u achieve correct answer for your question? Bcz ı need to learn what kind of raspberry pi to use with pixhawk 4

[@thedronedojo]

Good question, puvee. You can definitely connect the RPI 4B to the Pixhawk. In fact, we even have a drone just like this at the drone dojo at deals.dojofordrones.com/the-ultimate-project-drone

[@thedronedojo]

I would recommend the RPI 4B

[@mehmetnurisozer355]

@@thedronedojo Is rpi 3 b enough for your project?

does this hurt the taco
