An autonomous drone is a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) that can operate without direct human control. These drones are equipped with sensors and GPS technology that enable them to navigate and make decisions independently.
Building an autonomous drone requires key components such as a flight controller, motors, propellers, ESCs (Electronic Speed Controllers), GPS module, and sensors like IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and barometer.
**Programming plays a crucial role in making a drone autonomous. You'll need to program the flight controller using software like Arduino or Betaflight. This involves writing code to control the drone's flight, navigation, and response to external factors.
Testing is vital to ensure your autonomous drone functions correctly. Conduct thorough tests to check its stability, GPS accuracy, and the effectiveness of its sensors. Calibration of the drone's components is key to achieving optimal performance.
