Introduction

Welcome!

This blog site has been set up by our team of current engineer students at Drexel University. Our goal for this site is to keep everyone updated on our current design project. The project we have chosen to complete is that of a new surveillance drone. There will be weekly posts of our progress on this topic that describe detailed entries of things such as the design specifications, the flight testing, code used to control said drone, and many more aspects. The overall goal of the advanced surveillance drone is to autonomously cover a set area, and once the motion sensor mounted on the drone is triggered, it will then travel over to that specific location and use a light as well as a camera to record the disturbance. The audience that we feel this will appeal to can range from someone worried about the safety of their home, to even a large scale company that wants extra security. This past week our team has been filling out our design proposal which essentially plans out the entirety of this project, and we all feel confident in the information we have provided on our advanced surveillance drone. For the next week or so, we will be ordering and creating all necessary parts, as well as assembling what we can. For now we will just be waiting for their arrival.
